Agreed, but there is a difference between understanding, let's say, how PKI works and how it applies to HTTPS vs knowing how to implement AES. Sometimes, we just need to know that SSL 3 is broken, and don't need to know the exact details. All we then need to know is to stop using it.

You still need to understand, for example, how a certificate can be compromised and what the pros/cons are of different implementations. It's not a simple "yes or no", even though it's close.
