Anyone who needs the "theory" explained to them, especially by those= nitwits, isn't worth the time of day anyway.

Then by definition, tests are generally superficial, proje= cts are what demonstrate real ability.

It's really sad that your life is so shallow that you have to follow me like a little puppy, though. Perhaps if you learned something, yourself...

One possible explanation for these types of specs preventing the generalised competent people getting jobs, may be paradoxically, the overwhelming number of those less than competent. It may well be that many, are simply unable to to teach themselves the required various knowledge gaps in what would be an hour or so for the competent ones. Management may be aware of this and simple don't want to take a risk on something they themselves, know nothing about. On the overhand, management might just be complete and utter twats.

You can't even use an analog oscilloscope, and this after you obtained your diploma mill degree from SurePassU.
