That's the problem.  Maybe it shouldn't be the case.  Variations on this
statement are alarming:

``It's quite possible to be a productive and successful physician

solid understanding of medicine.''

``It's quite possible to be a productive and successful airplane
engineer without having a
solid understanding of aerodynamics.''

`Rocket Scientist'  : `Newtonian physics'
`Brain Surgeon' : `neurology'
