If something is offensive, it doesn't mean that it's not true. People differ in ability: some have valuable skills and others don't.

It's not even that. We're talking jobs, not people. It doesn't matter whether a low-skill job engages 100% of worker's skill or only 10% - the point is, someone doing a low-skill job can be a massive productivity multiplier for someone else doing a high-skill job.
