Retail is retail.
Right I do expect a "clubmaker or clubbuilder" that is certified by a clubmaking body to know the different theories behind the practice. Just like a bike shop when I call I expect them to know what a cog is.
I expect the cashier of the smoothie to shop to know what is on her menu. And I expect the salesgirl of the clothing store to know what kind of clothes they sale.
The golf industry is filled with half-truths, lies, mis-information, and "professionally certified clubmakers" that will bs you when all they really do is cut and glue. Any hack can learn how to cut and glue. The ones out thre that know what they are talking about are swimming upstream.
I'm saying the bicyle industry IMO isn't much different.
