The analogy I use is that it's like a hospital trying to hire a heart surgeon by extensively grilling candidates on trick questions about organic chemistry. I mean sure, the surgeons probably took that class a few decades ago prior to medical school. So they end up with surgeons that are wizards in organic chemistry but might well not know how to use a scalpel or know where the heart is.
