Lawyers deliberately inculcate this culture unless they suck. We are by design a very low PDI culture because if we fuck up bad enough someone goes to jail that shouldn't, or someone dies that shouldn't, or someone loses millions of dollars that shouldn't, etc. Privileging my own ego over the quality of my client's defense would be unethical, in my opinion.
