Well, you know damned fine that "the talent" will jump at bitching about you behind your back, if they think it will give them even the most ridiculously small advantage or the tiniest bit of cred, so we just use the word we feel is right when we don't have to worry about them having a tizzy and screwing their lines.
That said, there are some bloody nice and smart people in acting, but the culture doesn't make it easy for them to stay that way -- e.g. it's typical for even the nicest of guys to end up believing that everyone in the world is a backstabbing b*st*rd who wants to steal his lines/roles/glory.

Well, most actors are childish by nature. I was too when I started. You have to learn to grow up so-to-speak. At the non-celebrity stage of the game, most of these actors never grew up. And they're desperate for roles like a crack wh*re, to give them a sense of validation in life. So yeah, I totally get it.
I don't date acting chicks for that very reason. They're shallow and only care about roles, like that makes them important. And to top of it off, most of them don't even have their own personality unless it's a scripted one.
But hey, that's show business. I'm moving to Los Angeles in 6 months in hopes of finding more mature actors to hang around with so I don't go crazy(er).

I know that's in jest, but in all actuality, that's part of the problem with Hollywood. Way too much drama and bickering.

I cant agree because "better" is not really specified.
Finding work with good pay is for most engineers a piece of cake. Scientists often struggle to find a pay that is enough for live.
Mankind needs really many engineers and (in comparision) few scientists. So scientist should be the most advanced engineers, but (that many) engineers do a lot of work for every day live.

Haven't heard/read SC, but aren't both necessary and dedicated to really different things? isn't he comparing apples with lorries?

No.
You need both scientists and engineers for the whole thing to work. One, without the other, is pure madness I tell you. Madness!

All I know is that scientists "do it" repeatedly to verify experimental results, while engineers discover how to "do it" in new ways.

I always looked at this way, scientists invented/discovered plastic and engineers build things with plastic.

I have to say as a scientist and an engineer, I'm conflicted!

Where would engineers be without scientists? Material scientists? Metalurgists? Brewers?
Consider a layered approach, you can only build a stable structure on a solid foundation. Just as the items at the top of a totem pole rely on the lower item for support, it's the items at the bottom that are most important.

I neither agree, nor disagree. Separating is what lead to bad results in both scientist and engineers. In fact in our time there is no science that matters on its own and that's why smarter people doesn't matter in the current world (unless they have a gun, but having a gun is independent from the mind).
I had a "introduction to genetics" optional course in university (I learned software engineering). The practice was super easy, because algorithms was so easy to program and little knowledge in genetics allow to do a lot in biology. Unfortunately people do not, because there is not programmer that is biologist at the same time.
So if I'm both scientist and engineer and I learn theory and philosophy, while understanding everything throughout experience will make me smarter than most people on the earth (except for those, who had been born smarter than me). Unfortunately I do not have time to be both, that's why we people communicate.
The most difficult part is to find a person that in their free time wanna talk about mathematics, programming, genetics, chemistry and so on, and not talking about general stuff that the most people talk.

I'm trying to imagine, as the lyrics of a song entreat me, that there is no heaven, that when I look up all I really see is sky, but in doing so I have to pit a scientist against God. Due to some theory. But that isn't really what Sheldon Cooper wishes to say when he compares an engineer to one of these theorists. I think engineers are responsible for the way I feel. So, I'm going with ... Engineers are better and the esteemed Dr. Cooper is wrong.
