I would expect that. Most IT people, computer support folks, and
programmers (especially) I work with are quite simply not technically
inclined at all.


Yeah, all those "low tech" people, as compared to all the "high tech"
Morse code operators that you work with?

It's a bit of a non-sequitar, but since you asked, I only work with
one Ham who is big on Morse code. He is pretty technically savvy. But
that is a sample of one, so I can't make any judgement. Quite a few of
the Hams that I am friends with are quite competent, and Morse code
acumen doesn't seem to be much of a determinant of technical savvy.

But I'm around a lot of IT types, and can make a judgement. By and
large, they are not technically proficient. That's just how it is. Of
course there are a few who know beyond programming and simply buying and
using - but they are the exceptions that prove the rule.
