I have a pet theory that there is some self indulgent delusion in not recognizing the real issue in order to preemptively take the high ground for an "I told you so."
In many multiplayer games for example, I've seen many support or healer character be the most toxic. By playing the non-fun helper healer, he or she takes the high ground to blame the rest of the team, oblivious that the toxicity is destroying the real thing that matters.
I sense something similar in some developers I work with and some in this proposal as well. Which isn't to say that technical experts giving technical advice and political experts giving political advice isn't good. It's just a similarity I feel.
