WBahn, I understand what you are saying, and I agree to a large extent.
An applicant that can not even apply Kirchhoff mesh or node equations has a serious problem in circuit design. And if we talk analogue design, inability to use the complex symbolic method is even worse.
So yes, basic techniques are important.

But not necessarily down to knowing every gate of a part in a logic design. I find it valuable that semiconductor companies nowadays supply basically foolproof logic functions with well-defined parameters. I mean, do you really want to know the silicon doping-level of the power transistor that you are using?

Best Regards.
But it is important to know why you might substitute one transistor for another or why not. Or why one logic function may be incompatible with a design because of the internal gate structure.
As a general statement you are correct but it is the exceptional events that cause designs to fail.
