I won’t get into why... You mean companies like Apple and Google specifically conspiring to suppress wages and cross-company hiring? Yeah, I can't imagine why

  No, I was trying to be polite in stating that the type of neurodivergence that makes people good hackers also generally leads them to have very strict and literal interpretations of language, whereas most other people are very comfortable with taking poetic license. So things like this seems a lot more important to us than to gen pop. And I was just trying to give a warning of that, since it is one of the key reasons why people like us are considered 'hard to talk to' (unless we take these warnings in stride and work to build coping mechanisms to lessen the impact).
