Your misunderstanding is near total. Actually probably just gross ignorance.
Dr Carson will take the lead on the Trump effort to bring change to the rotten inner cities. He is one of the very few high profile Americans with honest to God experience in the inner cities. That is his heritage

No, the poster that I was replying to misstated the issue by assuming that Ben Carson was unqualified because he has no direct experience in administration of this type of agency. I disagreed.
I am arguing that the fact that Mr Carson has not headed a department like this does not make him automatically unqualified because leadership, organizational and thinking skills, often transfer regardless of position.
Your observation would add credence to the selection that he has experience living within the system if not administering it.
One of the skills surgeons have is knowing when to remove diseased or malignant tissue. That might also be a transferable skill.
