I think you have to explain what the Jocks "didn't get." That's a 
little too broad. If they didn't get some technical issue, it's 
probably because they've never been trained, any more than an 
engineer has been trained to do a show. In many cases there's a 
complete disconnect between Jocks and Engineers. Each blames the other.

How about engineers who "didn't get it" when designing a technical 
showplace of a studio that no one can comfortably work in? It takes 
the freedom to be creative away (however you define that). I know a 
few major league Broadway performers who absolutely refuse to work in 
a particular theatre. Rather than putting 100% into their performance 
they have to spend extra effort to outwit the stage.
