The problem with "I can speak intelligently about it" is that many unskilled applicants can also do it. So this shouldn't be the deciding factor.

I never met anyone that can talk well about code, that can't actually code. I met plenty who like to throw hip new technology buzzwords around without actually having good reason to use new technology.
