And they should not have to any more than someone should need to understand 
how their car or dish washer works. These devices should serve their 
function without needing to know in-depth how they work. Sure there will be 
experts just like you have mechanics and home appliance repair people, but 
thinking that a lawyer should need to know command line or what an RFC is... 
well that's just foolish.  Do you know how to rebuild your car engine when 
150,000 miles comes around and you need to do it? Or do you send it off to 
be rebuilt by experts?
