So this guy's coworkers are arrogant for engaging in shop-talk that is above his current level of understanding? OK. But instead of saying to himself, "gee, I should crack a book and learn about this," he calls them asshats and demands that they don't discuss this stuff around him. Sounds to me like he's the arrogant one, projecting his shortcomings onto others so he doesn't have to take responsibility for them. Like sophacles generously said, he's behaving like a petulant child. He must be an absolute joy to work with.
