The poster you responded to never said that Intel engineers are idiots. Intel made a huge hole for themselves in the way they implemented ME.
The reason for the strong reaction over these flaws is not because of the severity of this issue, nor does anyone believe Intel engineers are idiots. They are getting blowback because they implemented a closed solution for a powerful feature - Management Extensions.
They lost a lot of trust, which makes it far harder to recover when new issues occur.
