Bill,

   You've just expressed the flip side of something I mutter almost every working day.  If I were "king of the world" one 
of my first decrees would be that NO ONE would be allowed to 
graduate from a school of engineering ... until they had 
served a "residency" (like MD's have to do) -- two years as 
a field service tech, THEN we'll let them design things that 
people have to use, or work on.

   Believe me, after 30+ years in field service, it's easy 
to spot the products that were designed by someone with "real world" experience.
