Please do! It really struck me as a theme that I hope grows beyond a Hartl-only concept. It succinctly describes a previously unnamed concept. It's the thing that you want to impart when you get that exasperated feeling trying to explain over the phone to a non-technical friend/relative how to go about fixing something that you yourself don't explicitly know how to fix but could easily if you were sitting at their computer.
More broadly have you though about a generic way to achieve/impart technical sophistication intentionally other than as a side effect of getting scraped knees doing technical things?

I don't think there's any way to avoid getting a few battle scars, but just knowing about the idea of technical sophistication (and having a name for it) turns out to be a huge help, as you observed.
