Very often the reason is that they are stupid. I work helping teams with specific technologies, meeting a new team basically every week.

Sometimes strange behavior is caused by very good reasons that are not obvious at first glance, but very often is just people being dumb and generally bad at their job / willfully ignorant. And I'm talking about objective facts / best practices, not even political opinions.

Yes, but I think it's worth to figure out if someone is bad at their job because they put no effort, or because they were taught wrong in school, or because they have weird obsessions etc.
