- datashow 7y agoIt's not just investment. High level experts do not care much about "human nature" as average persons do, it is also part of "human nature". Also disrespect goes both ways. For many people, using "mean words" (e.g. "this is terribly wrong", "what a stupid mistake") is being disrespectful and offensive. For many experts, being incompetent or making repeated mistakes in your work is being disrespectful and offensive.
