I think this article assumes that there are possibly engineers that don't think flexibly and need to follow some "absolute truths".

In some places, submission to ideas rumored to be proven is valued more than flexible thinking, critical thinking at any time, etc. I know that some countries in Asian have a rather high degree of culture like this. It doesn't apply to everyone.
