How so? It's Friday afternoon here so my brain's already moving into
weekend mode :-)

It says about TWers:

  They're the interface between product and user; user advocates
  Work for manufacturers yet try to meet user needs
  Ensure products are used effectively, safely etc
  Analyse product... (effectively user/task analysis)
  Analyse specifications... (OK if you're lucky!)
  Develop docs to help users enjoy... (maybe not the word!)
  Have to be well trained and educated in competencies...
 
While maybe a bit 'academic' I don't see how it would exclude anyone
from this list. We are all well trained aren't we? :-)
