Because you are not only "special" enough that doesn't listen.
Gyro doesn't listen to anyone no mater how much people try to reason to him and StormWarrior is StormWarrior. And Tleno is special case I admit but his forces are dwarves and humans and got right for certain level of tech long time ago. Rest however don't have tech-crap. Al, Trolman, SLA, Herian, Amargaard, Al'ar, I, Joke master, Chr2... basically all don't have it. So NO everybody doesn't have it.
