In technical fields? All the time. It is super rare for someone to ignore your arguments or resort insulting you during a discussion.
Good for you if that's your experience, but I cannot say the same. The difference I found is with the way those people ignore arguments and insult you.
I can talk to a person from a technical field and come out of that conversation feeling like shit because I was called all kinds of stupid indirectly.
