As a manager of a group of geophysicists, I have received this criticism
from my present and former bosses for the past 5 years in the way I deal
with people in my group and other groups where it comes to scientific
matters. It is a congenital defect or a personality mutation. :-)
Hopefully I didn't pass it on to my children. :-)
