good point. perhaps we should allow people to design and engineer cars that know nothing of mechanics? or people to build space shuttles who know nothing of aeronautics? or people to build nuclear power plans without knowledge of nuclear physics?
i mean, all of that is just totally taken care of by computers nowadays, amirite?
