Somebody with an engineer’s mindset will think that “yes, the abstractions we use might be imperfect, but what else do you propose we use? They’re still the best tool for accomplishing stuff, and anything else is just philosophcial nonsense that isn’t grounded in anything”. Whereas the philosopher is less interested in using their knowledge to “accomplish stuff”, and more interested in the ideas and their implications themselves.
