Why is it that people have to learn Windows or Microsoft Office, instead of how to use a computer or an office suite? Do you teach your kids how to drive a Ford? Or how to drive a car? We should be teaching skills, not products.
I love my kids too much to teach them to drive a Ford. <g>
Seriously, I don't think it's a valid comparison. Cars are designed to be nearly universal, and those differences that exist (headlight, cruise, heater controls, etc.) can be figured out in minutes. Operating systems and the applications that run on them have much steeper learning curves.
Bull****.
Try running Pro-E when you have only experience in Auto-Cad, and see how far your argument gets you. Yes, Fords work like Chevys, but computer programs do not necessarily do so.
