It doesn't bother me. Obviously, John was young when his dad vanished, and just as obviously, his mom moved them and she remarried. That throw-away line in 4.03 gave us some backstory, but like *all* backstory on Show, it was incomplete.

Since Sam and Dean are already 'special', as it were, because of their bloodlines and their ancestors, this fits, to me, since they need the combination of books and spells and learning to go with the physicality and bravery of hunters. Both sides of the family tree have to exist in order to make things *work*. The Men of Letters don't go out hunting - that would endanger too much knowledge - but they can pass on their information to hunters.

Hunters who *need* info, but can't spend weeks and months researching and testing things, as they're trying to stop monsters from killing people.

So both 'professions' are necessary and both have been around forever and now they're sort of...distilled and melded into the boys.

Just like Chuck talking about the boys taking time off to see a concert, to look at the stars, to go to a ball game.... This is just more of the story we *don't* know. Works fine for me. :)
