Every large or strong human goes through a phase in life where they learn the hard way that they have to be extra careful not to smash things. The bigger you are, the less sympathy you get (you clumsy oaf).

Microsoft is fond of workaholic coders and bizdevs. The number of those who are Big and Tall is small, and the number of workaholic coders who are also weightlifters is tiny. So you look at things that are completely obvious to you and the other person has absolutely no framework for contemplation. And if you are living by the Golden Rule (who has the gold makes the rules) then you don't have to learn anything at all.

But it sure would be nice for the rest of us if they did.
