I definitely understand your point.
However, how much knowledge can you expect a single person to know? With all the disciplines, there is simply too much information for one person to gain an expertise in. Where do you draw the line?
Does a general analyst now need to become a small arms expert? Or do they need only a familiarization and ability to find the information if need be? Do they really need to know the difference between every type of MANPAD and what level of threat they pose to the countermeasures of each individual aircraft in the U.S. inventory?
Finally, I would argue that it is more important they understood the difference in IED triggering systems vs. other types of small arms, seeing that IEDs are the #1 killer of our troops.
