I trust that the difference between "appreciating the power of Ada and
associated software engineering concepts" and "becoming trained
software engineers, able to make practical application of software
engineering concepts" is clear to everyone.
(No, not you, Bill; I mean everyone _else_.)
It is truly unfortunate that anecdotal evidence is the only kind of
evidence available to all of us who would like to compare languages.
With programmers as test subjects, controlled experiments are *so*
expensive...
