I have never understood the need for a moonshot applicant - someone who is good at everything. Most of the time people spend hours interviewing lot of people looking for that one brilliant engineer but as the reality dawns on them, they end up hiring who has some essential skills. Later they bemoan that he/she is not good at an non-essential skill. At that time when you say, well, why don't we hire someone with those non-essential skills? It comes down to money.
