you have valid point. Just because you know how to speak a foreign language, doesn't mean you can teach it. Just because you know a lot about an industry, doesn't mean you can manage the north east division of it etc. You need to know both. but i'd be more likely to heed the words of someone who had a lot of experience in the industry over some fresh college grad telling me about CRM and every other abbreviation they read out of their textbook.
