That's a valid observation.
Let me offer a bit of perspective on nitwit-ism in the real world.
When I taught the design/technical track of Cisco University (a
program for resellers), all three tracks (design, sales, and
operations) met as a group, then split up. We usually left the
design track in the original room.
I'd often start out by asking, "Anyone here from sales?"
And someone would raise their hand.
I'd respond. "Thank you. I'll speak slowly."
Especially in a reseller context, you will often have to respond to
scenarios in which you can only moan to the sales rep, "you sold them
WHAAAT? And you want WHO to make it work?"
There's a whole art to responding to bad specifications with systems
that inflict minimal pain. Mind you, I don't think the design cert
exams are this subtle, but a good CID class will get into how you
manage customer expectations and respond to poor specifications.
