So on one hand, yes. On the other hand, there are tasks that are onerous to non technicians.
If you asked me to do it manually, sure. I’ve interacted with a bunch of software, understand measurement systems, done some programming etc.
My wife on the other hand… There’s no overlap between ecology or life sciences in this task. Outside her ability.
Yeah some folks in here are clearly out of touch with the capabilities of the average consumer.

There’s no equipment calibration in ecology or life science?
Her degrees are ECE and conservation so no.

I don’t like that meanings change over time.

Is it “the good ones, like French, gatekeep changes to prevent changes by vapid Instagram whores, and the others are ‘literally’[sic] English”?
