Bob's post was very interesting and it makes me wonder: is the reason design engineer's are so pompous simply *because* they think they are the wellspring of the company?

We could have an intelligent discussion about to what extent this is
actually true, but DE's think it is: they sincerely believe they are the wellspring of their company. They perceive themselves to be at the
center of the action, and that delays in their output directly result
in delays to the product, and damage to the company. So they generally
work very hard, and tend not to suffer (what they perceive as) useless
overhead gladly.
