Comments by "RB 70" (@RB-bd5tz) on "Government Threatens Retired Engineer With a Crime for Doing Math" video.

@glassmw9823 Ah. I was confused - but, I think, justifiably. See, your first response to the OP seemed to be on board with the OP's comment. But then your response to Everyday Nerd Channel did make you seem like an arrogant, defensive a-hole when your profession was criticized, and that cast an implied tone to your response to Breve Stule. If, however, you are as you just responded, then I take back my comments and apologize.

@glassmw9823 In response to your responses to Breve Stule and Everyday Nerd Channel: You seem to be a stereotypical arrogant engineer. All they said was that engineers sometimes get things wrong. Are you shaken to the core that your engineering degree doesn't shield you from being accused of imperfection? Or that, as an engineer, you don't have godlike status? Thankfully, engineers generally DO get it right, and have pulled off amazing things. But you know about London's Millennium Bridge, and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge, to name just a couple of famous, embarrassing failures. I used to work at an engineering company, and I, the lowly draftsman, caught engineers' mistakes. Shall we all just lighten up, please?

@glassmw9823 Completely agree. I don't expect perfection from anyone. When I was a kid, I thought adults all had it together, that they had the answers to everything, that they knew what to do in any situation, and that the education system turned out responsible, educated people who were ready to take on the world and excel. Big NOPE. Therefore, I am pretty understanding and forgiving when people screw up, even if it is a disaster, as long as they take responsibility. Arrogance is the one personality trait I have the least patience with - and it's usually the smallest people who think they're the biggest. Unfortunately, this trait is on the rise, and we now have People Who May Not Be Criticized, as in this video. And that's bad news for decent people and free speech.
