I was an Engineer (currently in Law School) and the issue is that even though the overwhelming majority of people who go into the field are drawn to logic, they are also usually super introverted and passive and even if deep down they know the left is wrong, the pressure is on so hard in most Colleges that they fold and adopt NPC talking points. I was blitzed by leftism my entire time attending school and then afterwards while working on campus at a Small Engineering Firm that worked closely with a Graduate Research group. I was not a typical Engineer and pushed back, and tried to always speak up for my peers who I knew agreed with me but were too timid. But I get it, a lot of people just get run over by the Leftist Blitz of Academia for fear of Ostracization.

Maybe cause they just learn to repeat stuff as they're told. Nobody is really rediscovering math laws on their own, it's just copying.
