There are many many professions where you don't have to be a nerd to be
good at your job. Whatever gets you from A to B is just fine is a lot
of peoples books. I think a lot of people actually concentrate too much
on the tech and forget much more important considerations such as
light, composition and communication.

Photography seems to be the only profession where it is accepted that
one needs little or no technical knowledge to practice the trade.
I find this most puzzling, especially when it is espoused by
photographers.
