I understand your thinking on this.  However, some folks are good at what they
acually do (say for example, installing and selecting alarm equipment) but
totally inept at writing HTML code.  I always prided myself on offering good
products but it took me a long time to learn how to build an online store
that's easy to shop and (I think) user friendly.

I don't doubt that.  I have nephiews who can code circles around me.  However,
they don't know squat about alarms and home automation.  One converse example
is my old nemisis, Mike.  He actually knew his stuff about alarms and could
put together a decent system.  He couldn't "sell" though because he came
across as an oaf in person and he had the Web design skills of an ape.  His
prices were competitive on most stuff though he subscribed to the "@#$*% you"
school of customer service.  :^)

People who rely on their "education level" as proof of the rightness of their
position in online debates usually turn out to be inerudite morons.

That is true.
