Potentially unpopular response: engineers! I respect the knowledge and intellect, and I do not respect the deficits in curiosity and emotional intelligence. The engineers I know (some of whom I love) tend to be experts on the things they do know, but they don't know what they don't know.
As an engineer, I suppose I should be offended by this. But I realize that it is based on "emotions," a type of internal sensory experience some humans have on a daily basis. This is not logical, and shall be disregarded. End statement.
