>that a lot of people go around saying "yeah, engineers go around thinking they can just walk into field X and study it without context".
That's sorta the point of a degree in the sciences rather than going to a vocational school, right?
It's amusing that people find it arrogant. It is that they're showing a level of competence we're all claiming and maybe only pretending to have? Is it "swim in your own lane" union-style isolation? Is it sneering at nerds for not having the good sense to shut it? Is it inflated egos that still think the things they learned in undergrad were hard?
