I think it's more accurate to say that OTP's dogma comes specifically from it having chased down pragmatism to a fault, to the point where whether or not OTP's doing something is a reasonably-reliable indicator of whether or not that something is a good idea (at least for Erlang's typical use cases) and therefore arguably warrants the dogmatism.
