"Handy" people are more scientific than non-"handy" people. They believe in physics at a deep level, so they can reason about physical objects without relying on user interfaces. Everything is made of raw materials; everything can be repurposed.

In "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", Robert Pirsig calls this distinction the "romantic" vs. the "classical" mind and explores it in some detail. Classical minds tend to build a functional model of things they interact with, romantic minds a descriptive and normative.

Heinz von Foerster (Cyberneticist) used the term "trivial" instead of "handy". If you can read German, I can recommend reading splogz.wordpress.com/2019/04/08/hei…
