Calhoun was a Managing Director at Blackstone which, sure, isn’t a hedge fund but surely is not a glorified accounting firm. If he can be called a bean counter, so can Anonymous Hedge Fund Guy.
There are plenty of extremely strategic CFOs that began their careers as “bean counters.” The terms of all this discussion and theorizing are purely in-group out-group confirmation bias nonsense.

Pretending everything would be better under a real engineer is a deluded combination of No True Scotsman and in-group signalling. As HN demonstrates, no group is immune to their siren calls.
