They tend to
regard our writing skills as only contingently valuable, and only of value
at all insofar as we can demonstrate that we can also understand their
machine and explain it to other people.

The latter being a part of the writing skill... :-)

Anyway, I found it is easier to lteach somebody about a particular product, given reasonable intelligence on the aprt of the trainee, than to teach somebody how to express themselves well.

YMMV
