Ding ding ding ding we have a winner.

Arrested development. Same reason why half the software field is full of people bad at writing software.

They’ve never seen someone good at it. Or they have, but are convinced they are better and special. Or they just don’t care to be better at it.

I would be shocked if this didn’t occur in other fields. We have the expression "in the expert’s mind here are few possibilities. In the beginner’s mind everything is possible"

For me it captures the truth that experts frequently dismiss solutions out of hand for being too simple.
