Having unsuccessfuly attempted rational explanation many, many times over the
years with Ohta-san and others like him, I can say with some authority that
they are primarily responsible for "this attitude."
When you have attempted to point out incomplete or just plain incorrect
reasoning in their arguments for the 1000th time, patience runs very thin.
A raised eyebrow at questionable implementations and policies is a good thing
and should be expected. Constantly spreading misinformation due to deliberate
misunderstanding is a waste of everyone's time and energy.
