> If the guy repairing your computer doesn't recognize the name Steve Wozniak, would that cause you concern?

Not especially, because being able to namedrop Apple entrepreneurs from the 70s and 80s who were featured in two different films doesn't mean you know your way around a test bench or multimeter. Nor would I be all that concerned if someone got mixed up on which microcomputer pioneer did what given the parallel development and outright intellectual theft of the time. Funny enough, being able to win Trivial Pursuit: 1980s Edition isn't one of our professional standards.

This. Having the technical skills to perform the necessary tasks efficiently and with minimal error is important in a computer repair tech. Having encyclopedic recall of who did what when is not.

Besides, in this scenario, the computer repair guy knew the name Steve Wozniak. He just got his contributions temporarily mixed up with those of Steve Jobs.
