We need to substitute the word "professionally" with more precise terms when talking about our industry. Because if one was to read "professionally" as "at work", then your statement is absolutely false - both the lower bound and average amounts of critical thinking and caring in this industry are extremely low. Even ignoring people who obviously have no clue, I can still imagine Hadoop and other big data stacks being sanctioned by "professionals" in management for buzzword-generating reasons, and implemented by "professional" "engineers" for CV padding reason.

You're probably right. I'm thinking of specific coworkers when I think of the level of knowledge that should be expected, and generally the standard I would hold coworkers to would include understanding this. But it is probably not as widely understood as I would hope.
