OK here's one why do we assume someone working in tech is knowledgeable in tech. Its a job. I have met many network maintainers for companies who seem like they know nothing. I have met many support staff who don't know their bass from a home in the ground. Just because by outwork in the field does not mean you are an expert on everything or even the thing you do. And this doesn't just apply to tech

Why would the IT help desk need to identify bass and treble?

Oh no, google / alwxa should be shot in the face, don't mistake that.

And never trust any "smart" appliance that doesn't work without internet access.
