Yes, it might be seen as combative since it amounts to saying "you guys seem to be clueless". When proven in experiments, it means that the combativeness was justified.
Imo, the language in this quote is almost unacceptable. It's a roundabout way of saying "stand back little peon, you are not important enough to be thinking about problems that concern us."
It's inevitable that when people overestimate their competence and judgement, the moment when humility is forced on them is experienced as painful. Adjust prejudices and move on.
