Sounds to me the appraisal of someone 'technical' (verily, 'a techie') that is in denial of their humanity - and thereby denies the fallibility of man .... Someone who has not yet comes to grip with how things work in the real world, someone who still looks up to all 'authority' figures (be they 'the king' or their own local despot) as a 'father' figure and therefore an infallible leader who may do no wrong. Perhaps THE WORLD would have been better off NOW should Hitler have come to power in all of Europe. Ya think? Just my take (and my last response to this particular thread) ...
