It also depends on the chef. A skilled chef knows how to use and abuse
a hammer and can make quite good filo pastry using a hammer if need
be.
And when we are talking about SFP modules, we are not talking about
somebody who can just about boiling an egg and put bread in the
toaster.
Anybody using these SFP modules knows a lot about networking, is a
power user, and probably does not rely on plug and pray.
