"Technical smart asses often have a narrow view of the world. They only see what’s in front of them." I find this to be a tremendous leap in logic from the rest of the author's narrative. Some of the most technical, rationally driven people I know are also some of the most open minded, willing to judge new concepts on their own merits rather than deferring to culture or tradition. Being a stickler for semantics does not mean you're incapable of objectivity, empathy or lateral thinking.
