Cynicism of Engineers
October 29th, 2002
Cynicism among engineers isn’t a character flaw. It is key to their strength. And for the Dilbert view. . .
Cynicism reigns! “I will worship no more false [optimists].” – misquote of The Tempest’s Caliban [actually, the misquote started as a pure misquote in a 12th grade English paper - a paper explaining/reference a quote that apparently doesn't exist in The Tempest, by Caliban or any other character. Hey, it was an in-class writing where we couldn't reference the play - not an intentional whole-cloth misrepresentation of the play]
[My apologies for the mild incoherence of this entry. . . Too much caffeine already.]

I am neither a cynic, nor an engineer. Therefore, my character is flawless?
