Or they do not understand the significance or potential of what they do.

I recently met some folks at a box factory. They design cardboard  
boxes to be manufactured. The staff was home grown - completely  
trained on the job, in house. They were masters of the medium and the  
craft. What they were lacking was the vision and theory. This is the  
opposite of what Dave Malouf described recently. They had   
essentially an entire carrier of studio work, with no real  
fundamentals. I could not help but think of the potential for that  
staff - and in fact the company had they the background and vision to  
push that medium.
