This comment will play extremely well on this website, which engineers frequent. And it's admittedly a great joke. But only tangentially relevant to the author's point.

The author's point is closer to the old adage of not shooting yourself in the foot. That is, however true your statement is, if it denies further thought it becomes a useless point.

So it's 100% a good joke, but misses the entire point.

The joke is making fun of the "engineer" as well as the "manager". The engineer's pedantic, irrelevant response that does not invite further discussion is exactly why the parent article reminded me of this joke!
