Same question, only replace "programming" with literally any other engineering discipline:

Assuming someone doesn't, is marine engineering a good fit? (genuinely asking)

Do we expect someone who designs, plans, builds, tests and maintains seafaring vessels and their components to be great at abstract puzzles and quizzes?

Or do we expect them to know a lot about steel alloys and how they interact with seawater, about the effect waves have on different hull-shapes, and how to figure out how to best install a 7m drive-shaft in an engine room (or whatever)?
