Commercial brewers and open/closed mindedness

I've had the opportunity to tour a number of smaller craft breweries in the last few years and have enjoyed it for the most part. However, when listening to the brewers talk about their process, they always seem to have a certain arrogance about it, like what they do is the most correct way to do it. Never do they say, "Well we'd prefer to do 'A' but have to do 'B' for now because of money/time/space etc."

It just seems like they throw around a lot of absolutes when clearly there are a ton of different ways to brew beer and do so successfully. Anyhow, just thinking out loud and wondering if others get the same impression.

I haven't really noticed any arrogance. I know one well established pro and one another who recently went pro who appreciate and have actually acted upon advice from homebrewers. But it may well be that they are exceptions.
