> the technical knowledge needed to create a pull request probably exceeds the knowledge needed to know why this doesn't work...

The plural of anecdote is not data, but I have first hand experience with someone who can make a pull request but doesn't understand password best practices at all.

Granted it might be because I taught them to make pull requests, but still...

I know people who wrote code for their thesis in Python but can't grasp why indentation matters. You'd be surprised by what people do and don't know.
