It is, but it is a useful question. What you really want is not resources by being able to meet a threshold for:

- logic - critical thinking

After that, depending on your particular bent, you want some facility with languages ( some already dead ). In other words, it genuinely may not be for everyone.

For someone not wishing to be an expert or read source material, like the OC, facility in languages is absolutely not necessary. And history absolutely is valuable and can be accessible to everyone.

<< And history absolutely is valuable and can be accessible to everyone.

Shrug. Little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Giving someone tools to create black hole does not ensure that they will be able to utilize that knowledge in a manner that.. is useful.

In other words, it may not be absolutely necessary, but it is.. not helpful to suggest accessibility is key. If anything, accessibility makes it dumber; not completely unlike systemD in linux. It serves a purpose, but it dumbs things down.
