It's very interesting you are talking about "details".
I'm not sure it's about some pride or hurting the ego.
If we accept that a lot of nerds are on the spectrum, and quite a few are full blown aspies - focus on details instead of the big picture is the core feature of this particular non-neurotypical demographic.
Have you responded/posted an RFP before? These things often end up in very very pointed questionnaires of 200-300 questions that take a couple of weeks to prepare a response, and often sizeable teams to generate those responses.
Is it marketing or autism? Seems very common in B2B/enterprise.
