This is nonsense. If what you're saying is true, then virtually this
entire list is a list of piss-poor engineers (i.e. people who ask
questions of others because they CAN'T figure it out). I can't tell you
how many times others people, including myself, have come to this list
and posted real world problems, not because "I'm not a good engineer",
but even studying or even passing the lab can't prepare you for
everything. There are sometimes flaws in the IOS or bugs in the
hardware that cause issues that make no sense. And having "a virtual
community of network engineer" (The Groupstudy motto) is a priceless
asset. That doesn't make me or anyone else less of a good engineer. It
makes us smart because we have enough sense to bounce problems off of
others that are also knowledgable.
