Which means that you have the ability to research, think critically and
diagnose things, as do I. You're making an assumption you shouldn't be
making--about whether I know enough to diagnose a problem with the hardware
I happen to use. In fact I can and have many times...
Our specialty areas are extremely different, but we're using the same tool,
our brains, and that's been my point. We all have varying industries and
skill sets, but good professionals, of any stripe, must be able to research,
reason, and analyze to perform successfully. Setting forth a specific
requirement for your particular industry or specialty is fine, just don't
assume that it is a universal requirement.
