Your post is absolute nonsense. Plenty of people know exactly how everything on a plane or car works, or a CPU. I've worked with tons of people who do.

The fear of deskilling is very valid and is already messing things up.

Your post is absolute nonsense. Even the people you are referring to do not know how everything works. Does your airplane engineer know the exact tensile strength of the tire as it hits the landing strip?

Of course people do.

Doubtful. The engine engineer doesn’t know the chemical engineering of modern fuels nor the code in the engine controller.

We're losing a respect and understanding of how basic competence works.
