Right. A skilled person knows not to commit to anything in a meeting, or to at least validate what they think before they open their mouth. Depends on the audience, of course. At least in my environment, there is not an expectation for someone to be able to rattle off technical specifics from memory on demand - I've got an iPad and Google for that. General concepts and functionality/limitations/whatever are great in that setting, but no one asks for the level of detail that takes 30 minutes to research and digest in a meeting. The ability to remember obscure command line arguments, or parts of a protocol header don't have much value, when you can look it about 10 seconds. Anyone else noticed their memory has gotten worse since Google came along? :) David
