The problem is that the author thinks that he has a clue, when he clearly doesn't.
Your post is exactly the proof that he doesn't have a clue, because if he did, he'd understand EXACTLY what you've stated already and wouldn't be asking this question on slashdot in the first place.
The real problem is, we've got some dude that knows slightly more than pushing the power button to turn his PC on (probably just figured out he can hold it down to force it off) and he thinks that qualifies him as an 'IT Pro'
By asking the question he asked, he's shown he has pretty much no experience in the industry and knowns pretty much nothing about how and why tech support is done the way its done. His question shows us that he isn't an 'IT Pro', whatever that is actually supposed to be.
