You have a point there, but I used to make that comment when making a
comparison to several that were hired to do the same job. They were hired,
because of their experience to do a relatively specialized job. I was
hired as a PT, do what ever needs to be done, kin in school. I was often
asked by our boss to help, those with the special skills, diagnose a
problem.

Which definitely confirms my point. You brought certain skills to the
problem that the specialists might have lacked.

Working as a technical writer, I frequently participated in various
projects. While the design experts had all the technical knowledge
that anyone could every want, their communications skills were
frequently lacking. It was my job to bridge what they were trying to
say and make it understandable to the managers and sales people.
