"Many hackers are one-trick ponies who know how to use a few specific tools but are clueless after those fail." I think he has confused script kiddies with hackers. Hackers don't just run scripts and shrug their shoulders when things don't work. Hackers make the scripts and find vulnerabilities in systems. Usually employing some very smart techniques to obtain their goals..(shellcodes, buffer overflows, etc). A fantastic knowledge of C / ASM is usually required... "the U.S. government believes that you need criminals to think like criminals"..Just for the record (Hackers != Criminals)..
