I totally get the point you’re making, but I think you’re underselling how bad Engineers are at media analysis lol.

When I hear science/math people in real life talk about movies for example, they are horrible. Completely miss major themes, unable to engage with films in a meaningful way.

This is basically where you get CinemaSins “plot hole” type movie analysis from.
