But your statement above is only "always" true in a notional debate. It falls apart in the harshness of the real world.

Notional being defined as speculative or theorhetical? I would have to disagree with your assessment here. In the real world, especially in the business world, how one arrives at a conclusion is far more important than the conclusion itself. If you wish to apply knowledge, you need to understand the foundations.
As far as your comments below are concerned, all I can say is that a lot depends on the context. In this context - the alleged technical world - I believe an understanding of the reasoning counts for something...
>Eg: The light goes on when I flick the switch. That is the conclusion that concerns me. How and why "the journey" happened to cause photons to illuminate my dark office does not matter a jot. Same with a Big Mac- actually if you actually checked how that thing came to be, you might not be so pleased to tuck in.
