Even with soviet engineers this is not true. No serious engineer would
claim he used communist ideas to develop a device. Perhaps many would
claim they are driven by the idea a communism to take over the Globe,
but not that they used the ideology principles to develop an EE
device. The same about Christian engineers, nobody would claim they
used The 10 principles to choose, say the value of a resistor :-)

That's why I'm talking that virtual professional EE world is
ideology-free, that is, it's different to real-life world.
