Seems to be most people’s experience I’ve spoken to about it. Haven’t heard any different with people I know across the US. The only people who say otherwise have been unknown internet folk, such as yourself. Seems to be a strange pattern here. I have yet to meet someone who regrets not getting it, however, many I know do… also something to think about. Take care.

That's a dumb argument to make. PA has some of the strangest laws when it comes to hunting and what calibers you can use. People in surrounding states have been using AR15's to unt with for years yet in PA you can only use it to hunt coyotes. With A lever action rifle yiu can technically shoit as fast as semi auto loading yet again you can hunt with a 30-30 but not a semi auto. Most 22lr you buy are semi auto now and other states hunt with ruger 10/22 backpackers. I can keep going PA has been behind everyone else for ages

Scientists manipulated the data on smoking and lung cancer for the better part of a century.
 
Engineers manipulated the data on tetraethyl lead in automobile gasoline for the better part of a century.
 
Those are just two examples that spring to mind of "wild unreproducible takes" out of the non-Humanities.
 

Your experience is incredibly naive and you sound like an engineering undergrad who's actually taking the professional pride bullshit seriously.

Not in my experience. Grounding methods for thinking on how things work forces you to connect ideas anchored in reality. You do not get the wild unreproducible takes seen out of the Humanities, where they are happy to manipulate their data to fit the story they wish to tell. Engineers on average have a skill-set that allows them to adopt new fields that can produce things of value at a faster rate than most.
