I guess the downside of the lower barrier to entry to use these tools is the lack of basic understanding of exactly this sort of concept.

This sort of thing is why I'm hopeful I'll continue to have employment going forward. Some expertise is hard won and there's just no replacing learning through experience.

I think you're right in principle but I just hope I can hold out long enough for my experience to become appreciated and whose corresponding hourly rate isn't something which is suddenly being scoffed at (i.e. markets can remain irrational longer than I can remain solvent).
