If you call it narrow minded skeptic or conservative, I guess I resemble that remark.
When I use a product and it doesn't work, I fix it as warranty work at my own expense. Often it's like pulling a $100 bill out of my pocket and running it through the office shredder.
After doing that 5 or 10 times you can tend to get conservative or narrow minded.
Case in point...several years ago I was using 15-amp GFCIs and had them fail within warranty. I replaced two of them and went to installing 20-amp GFCIs. Maybe the 15-amp UL2003 GFCIs are more reliable, but I still use 20-amp GFCIs.
I'm not for experimentation. I'm for finding high quality and reliability and staying with it.
