Forklift operators don't lift things in their training. Even CS students start with pretty high level of abstraction, very few start from x86 asm instructions.
We need to make them implement ALU's on logical gates and wires if we want them to lift heavy things.

Even after school, you need to lift weights once in a while or you lose your ability.
I wouldn't want to write raw bytes like Mel did though. Eventually some things are not worth getting good at.
