I was very familiar with the terms PICNIC (problem in chair, not in
computer) and ID10T, when dealing with user problems. Some people should
hot be allowed near anything more technically advanced than a manual pencil
sharpener or a rotary dial telephone.

i'm sorry to disagree - computer nerds are some of the worst teachers (I guess they are not pros in the in-the-profession sense). They have no idea of what you don't know and just race through the steps.

That's often true.
I didn't start out to be a nerd, and actually I'm still not. To qualify as a computer nerd, one MUST have a good understanding of assembly language and be able to peek, poke and ping. I have none of those skills. However, I'm pretty good at writing tasty spaghetti code in BASIC.
I think if a person sets out to be a nerd, they will be successful, but probably won't be a good teacher. I set out to be a teacher (music), and ended up being a computer software trainer only because I had learned enough BASIC so that I could write programs for audio and acoustical applications. But whenever I taught a class (and still now when I help resolve a problem) I always kept in mind how little I knew when I first started out. It's very helpful to put oneself in the shoes of the recipient.

I just HAVE TO reply.
"Some people should hot be allowed near"
THIS is why some programs don't work. A typo.
It's also why some electronic repairs don't work. A cap put in backwards.
