Wait a minute. They're "transferring" the knowledge from one group of people to another group of people?!

Issues of replacing U.S. workers with foreigners aside, I do not think knowledge works like that.

The other group is taking that knowledge to their home country. The first group is left with the knowledge, but no where to use it.

So when they leave the workforce, it’s gone.

I do not think knowledge works like that.

Training does. If there isn't a position, the knowledge/training for that position ceases. I think that's where he's going with that.
