Absolutely; this is the key to the whole thing. It's explained at length in the classic The Design of Everyday Things. Nerds v. normies are given the monikers "Homo logicus" and "Homo normalis". The nerds value control, understanding, and are concerned with edge cases; they accept complexity, workarounds, and the need for preparation as the cost. The latter prioritizes nearly the opposite, preferring simplicity to control, and guaranteed if partial success for the need to understand/invest time.
