I said such users often have incomplete knowledge. Are there exceptions? Sure. Of course there are.
"Those are all things we had many decades ago"
I didn't claim this is some new invention, though. Though as someone who has been a heavy user of debuggers for DECADES, debuggers have dramatically improved in usability and scenarios where they are useful.

But...I didn't. In fact I specifically noted that graduates of excellent CS programs often haven't experienced how great the debuggers in the platforms they target are.
We all have incomplete knowledge about a lot of things.
