The fact that you are a computer salesman has no predictive power whatever
with respect to your technical competence -- that's exactly the problem.
The fact that you are good doesn't affect the _fact_ that most computer
salesman are technically imbecilic, and pretty carefree about customer
service as well.  After enough experience, we can generalize _all we want_ --
a handful of counter-examples just shows that we're not talking sterile
tautologies.  Computer salesmen are not ex car salesmen; they are
aspiring car salesmen.
