It is somewhat limiting the fact that in our industry, challenges related to social and human factors are either dismissed, denied, or taken under negative tone. Social sciences and political philosophy could really benefit how we treat ourselves daily, in my opinion. However, it seems that if it is not “technical” is dysfunctional.

PS: I am not saying that’s my take from your post, just something I observe in general. Heck, even I use the term political to signal dysfunctional work. :/

I didn't really mean to use the term "political" pejoratively :\

I was more focused on saying "the furthest possible thing from a technical problem".
