Wrong. The vast majority of admech are literal retards who think you have to appease a ghost to make an engine work. There are decent mechanics in the setting, and most of them are hated by the broader admech for being sacrilegious in how they handle technology. They will literally kill people for knowing the forbidden spell of tapping CTR + ALT + DELETE a bunch of times in quick succession to force a reboot. You are a tertiary who has never actually read a story with admech characters to see how the author's characterize their skills.
