I've always heard the worst thing about a scientist is that they won't shut up if you ask them about what's going on in their field.

In the same vein: Arguing with an engineer is like wrestling with a pig in the mud.

After a while you realize the pig likes it.

That’s what makes them an engineer: Piling argument upon counterargument to understand the topic, the arguments, their shortcomings and another person’s understanding of the topic vs arguing to be right.
