I'm suggesting a new perspective. Lets assume someone who's using a
terminal emulation software and has a problem with it. A terminal
expert may have difficulties solving his problem while a terminal
emulation expert will have a greater chance of solving the problem.
My point is that the terminal is sometimes just a part of the picture, not
the whole picture. Terminal emulation can give you another piece of the
puzzle.
