This is just not true. You are not 'hard wired' to react in such a specific manner, and being an engineer does not mean ripping things apart.
You may be an engineer and choose to make a joke about something. You may be an engineer and something may make you go off and learn about something you didn't know about before. You may be an engineer and react in all sorts of ways to soemthing, nitpick is only one possible outcome.

- angersock 11y agoYour comment here rather illustrates the point, I think. :)
- iamcurious 11y agoInteresting. So to convince people to disagree I should voice agreement?

Maybe it's not true for engineering in general, but it certainly is true in software development. When writing code, I am continuously guarding for the totality of my implementation. When reviewing code, I am mainly looking for ways it can fail, corner cases that have been missed, non-total evaluations, etc. Maybe it's not exactly hardwired, but my nitpicking skills are carefully and purposefully honed.
