I agree with your hypothesis that they learn just enough to accomplish x. That has always been how I do anything. I didn't learn how to write websites that interact with a db, I had an idea that I wanted to accomplish and I learnt enough to do it. This has helped me learn how to tie into a db, create interactive services and perform FFT on thousands of devices to identify bad cables based on their preequalization data.
