I have to take exception to your blanket statement that being educated means being an idiot.
I've met and worked with people in many ocupations and there is a broad range ability in each. The pro builders of my house tried to run water 15" uphill to the drain.
A person without formal training may know that when he does x,y & z the machine work. When x,y & z doesn't work then they throw parts at it and hope it does. If you don't know and understand basic physics,chemistry,electrical etc the world around you is a mystery.
I know of a auto body person who is a master of his trade as long as nothing changes. He's illiterate however and has to have directions for new paint,thinners, equipment etc. He also walked right past the no smoking sign into a new flamable storage area with a lit butt in hand. Fortunately only his pride was wounded.
And yes I've seen engineers who where clueless in the field and with equipment but could write up a storm.
The rare type of person shops of all sorts want but can't find enough of, understand engineers and can make the equipment work as intended.
