I didn't say there were none. I said most. Call me up when the trade organizations for construction, road work, plumbing, etc. have this as a topic of discussion on an almost weekly basis. Doesn't happen. Not to the extent it does with the tech industry.

My own personal theory, which is completely unsupported by anything other than my own experience and bias, is that it is a particular manifestation of the 'white knight' behavior that is so common among my peers.

Again, I am not saying that it is not a real issue, or that it is not worth discussing. I'm just pointing out that the tech industry has an unusual level of fixation on this issue.
