Giggey,
It was not meant as a personal attack, but more as an attack on the industry. There seems to be a move towards the "no need to know" philosophy, rather than the "need to know" one. I trust you understand the difference.
As a classically trained engineer, who do give ground courses to aircrews, I find the level of training, and basic knowledge of those participating, to be seriously lacking in one very important aspect, understanding! There is no emphasis on understanding. Complete the exercise and tick the box, that is what training seems to have become. Ham and Enos would have been right at home.
This thread, and many other, are examples of this.
