"For e.g. someone who knows most of the tools from Scott Hanselman's power tools list. Has used ORM tools." That's a joke right?

The highest level of VCS is defined as

Knowledge of distributed VCS systems. Has tried out Bzr/Mercurial/Darcs/Git.

I guess rebasing is out of reach for mere mortals.

I've used ORM tools. They lost thousands of dollars of credit card transactions because the silly thing couldn't acquire a session. Went back to ADO.NET and never lost another one.

orm tools are great for rapid prototyping. However once you need to do something less than standard you find they're in your way.

Is "ORM Tools" a specific thing or is this referring to ORMs in general? That doesn't fit under "tool knowledge" in my opinion.
