Actually, as dangerous as you suggest it to be the generalizations are
quite easy to make when your someone like Elliotte and have a keen
understanding of both the process, the technology, and the politics
involved in such environments.
You're not as much of a mystery as you seem to suggest.
Oh, and I not only fully back Bob's comments but would add to them
that you really should avoid coming across as a snotty know it all
that 'mingles' with the common folk only when it seems necessary to
place them in proper pecking order. I don't know who you are and as
such I am not saying this with some sort of vengeance... I simply read
your comments and began to laugh at the level of arrogance that was
portrayed.
Sorry, insult my friends colleagues and I will ensure they know that I
stand behind them 100% as the work they do is a lot more significant
than it seems you realize.
