>very likely your technical people are smarter than your product people

I'm guessing you work in the technical side of things?

should I guess you're not and that your sole reason for responding is defensiveness in wanting to believe you're smarter than software developers?

Or maybe we can try again?

You can guess that, and honestly it's not even a terrible guess. But it makes you a hypocrite. If you're offended by someone making this kind of assumption about you, reciprocating it isn't going to bring down barriers to communication.

You deflected entirely from the comment, which is fine. But then why reply at all? It sounds like you just want to be defensive.

Why would I seriously engage someone who starts off with such accusations?

The answer is I wouldn't, and I didn't. Oh snap, am I a hypocrite for not engaging you the way you wanted to be engaged?

Oh well.
