My angle is that you shouldn't throw stones, especially while living in a glass house.
Saying that the OP has, quote, "eviscerated their own credibility as an engineer" without adding anything of value to the discussion (aside, possibly, from eviscerating your own credibility as an engineer; not that it matters) was uncalled for.
Thank you for the feedback. I've publicly written a number of unpopular opinions during my 20-year career, and the only people it's gotten me in trouble with are those who I wouldn't want to be locked in an office with in the first place. Though I don't do it as much these days due to the rising generation of Internet creeps who will stalk you over a disagreement, I do appreciate your candor.
