Like many before you, you thought that you were going to provide a
"positive" testimony, but in fact, your statement is counterproductive and
gives the worst possible scenario for the majority user who have no
technical background, needless to say, an ultra-technical background.

Why? Because your statement/testimony meant to show off how good you are
instead of how good the product is. In other words, your ego blinds your
mind

Obviously.

It's very common in any well-managed organization, but apparently, you have
never been in any and will not in your feasible life.

Any competent and well-trained professional including engineers would have
known that any success from a product to an organization depends on team
work, and without contributions from others, there will be no success,
period.

We should be proud of our own expertise, but we should appreciate even more
about those possessed by others, so that, they could compensate areas of
which we don't know of.

Your mind, regardless of what topics involved, is pathetically sticking to
"us against them", and the world is no longer like that. You are living in
a modern society, but your mind is so outdated even Putin won't have it.
