True. But we are fortunate the kind of attitude that some programmers and hackers have is not so common outside their community. Imagine going to a charity medical camp and explaining your problem and getting a retort in return similar to "Go read a book on medicine first," or "To really appreciate what your problem is and how to solve it, you must go to a medical school first." :))
