The hilarious thing about this is that the modern authoritarian doesn't respect the engineer or the scientist either.

Outside of very ancient times, where many regimes we consider authoritarian were closer to an electoral technocracy anyway, I don't think even half of the totalitarian governments respected science or technology. And when they did, it was usually because somebody was forcing the leader's hand.

It's more of a trait of democracies.
