I think the it's the fear of the non-technical people that the  
technically competent would spin things in ways that they couldn't  
follow.  They understand their own game and might think they can match  
what other people with their own background are doing, but if somebody  
who knows more about the subject matter than them comes along, they're  
no longer able follow their own agendas in ways they like.
