I think in the context of the article it might be more skill related - eg if you were the only engineer in a room full of people making engineering decisions. You might not be marginalised in the greater business, but for a particular proje

Is advising people to wear sunscreen and not speed also nannying? If the government ultimately bears the costs of poor health of citizens, why shouldnt they embark on public health interventions to lower those costs.

I'm concerned that the move-fast-and-break-things crowd will attempt to ply their trade on reactor tech and leave us with a bunch of failed projects in jurisdictions that won't hold them to account. The space is heavily regulated
