It's an interesting thing: the relationship between intrinsic 
personality traits, 'deformation professionnelle' and the problem 
domain.  Were someone unable to assess quality in language 
design, a degree of obsessiveness would be one thing he might 
want to see in a designer given the long separation of 
gratification from seeing the ultimate results of good design and 
laying the foundation for things well.

I once worked with a chap - senior guy - who faked Aspergery 
traits he didn't really have in order to impress people from 
outside the firm (he wasn't distinguished by his quant ability, 
but had other things going for him).  And people copy the leader, 
so watch out for Dconf 2020! ;)  [Since it's a forum post, yes, I 
know you're not faking it and that it's within the normal range 
;)].
