Yes I understand that. The tendency of engineers to willfully refuse to understand what's going on in their businesses and scoff at the things they are refusing to understand by dismissing them as "overcomplicated" and "business doublespeak" is what my comment that started this thread was about.

Did you see the part in my big story time comment where i convinced the ceo his business strategy was wrong? do you think i did that with a flippant and dismissive comment?

i get the sense that you think i'm "one of those engineers". I am not.

The only sense I had was that your comments in this thread were "one of those engineers" type comments. :shrug:
