I teach physics and American Sign Language. My minors in college are math and linguistics. I'm not an engineer, but I do quite a bit with culture in my daily curriculum.

The debate is fine -- the implication that there's one right answer, or that anyone has the moral authority to point at anyone else and say, "you're doing it wrong" is not.

I stand by the argument that worrying about your own behavior and your own team is much, much more constructive.
