Wow! As a system administrator, I object.

One only becomes knowledgeable in some field when one has enough knowledge
to realize how much in this field he does not know.

Stealing analogy from one of previous posts: you can be good driver, this
does not make you a car mechanic. Going further: being great car mechanic
doesn't make one an engineer capable to design new car.

UNIX user is on the level of driver. Very very very advanced UNIX user
approaches system administrator, - with a willingness to waste a lot of
time and learn by doing that is. Luckily for me users of boxes I
administer consider their science more important than fiddling with the
system.

Sorry I break it for you this way, I was a programmer myself long before I
first put my dirty hands into the kernel code (you see, I'm still
skeptical about my editing kernel code). And I was UNIX user (and a user
of a bunch of other systems) before becoming UNIX sysadmin. There is the
difference, trust me on that, I've been there.
