This statement is an oversimplification. Computer Vision libraries are essentially Swiss army knives. If the person without reasonable understanding of Computer Vision research thinks that he can solve the problem, that is the person's problem. Again I wouldn't blame the naive software engineer who thinks he can solve these problems, because our (extremely complex) visual process makes it all seem very simple. Even Marvin Minsky thought he could get his undergrad Gerry Sussman to “spend the summer linking a camera to a computer and getting the computer to describe
what it saw”. After almost 60 years we aren't very to close that. Sure, we can solve certain problems in most scenarios (like face detection) or many relatively more complex problem in limited variance situations (like machine vision problems). This is the equivalent of a person who have learned C++ recently, using iteration/recursion/design patterns for everything he sees.
