It's the natural progression I think.

- Step 1. Know nothing about computer technology, and think it's magic.

- Step 2. Begin to learn about computer technology, and think it's fascinating.

- Step 3. Learn a lot about computer technology, and lose your trust in most developers/engineers that aren't yourself, and avoid said technology.

This is extremely accurate in my experience (besides trusting only myself, I don’t even trust myself). In general, the engineers I work with are much less “techie” than a lot of people I know outside of work.
