Understood. As a professor at a top engineering college expressed it, were turning out graduates who can do operational calculus and design artificial intelligence algorithms in their sleep - but who can’t figure out which end of a soldering iron to hold when they’re awake”.
“...ut who can’t figure out which end of a soldering iron to hold when they’re awake”....”
Or which bathroom to use.
That reminds me of the commercial of the young man calling home because of a flat tire but is not sure what item is a lug wrench.
I will reference a true story from my office.
Eric buys his first house. He moves in and calls Bill to ask “who do you call to fill up your well?”.
The next day Eric calls Bill about the fact that he could not get the cordless drill he had borrowed from Bill to drill a hole in the wall. Bill says: “you have it in reverse”.
These happened ten years ago and we still tease Eric about it. FYI, Eric was an Air Force brat whose Dad was a Lt Coronel. He is the best golfer in the office. He is intelligent but does nothing around the house except mow the lawn.
