I'm not sure if it has become more prevalent on HN, or if I have become more sensitive to it; however, I am finding myself increasingly less interested in the top comments there.

I think lil is right that it has something to do with the analytical nature of engineers, but I'd say it has as much to do with predisposition as education. I had a technological education, but need to keep a foot in the arts at all times. I also believe that some solutions cannot be explained, but only understood.
