Yeah, I've had PMs who've ground backlog grooming sessions to a halt so engineers can explain in detail what each one is, or shared incorrect information about a bug fix or new feature to a technical writer for release notes because they were so confidently incorrect.

The PMs with enough aptitude to understand and explain what the engineers are doing, even if they're not actively participating in implementation because they're applying that knowledge to broader strategic/roadmap decisions and cross-team coordination, are the best to work with.
