I always think of it like this:

When you go to a professional sporting match (e.g. football), you're watching people with many - 20 and more - years of experience in their game.

But on the sidelines during a match they drill the basics - passing, tackling, dribbling, catching - whatever, according to the nature of their game.

I always relate this to my teams, who think that after 6 months on the job they are far too advanced to waste time on the basics.

In this case, making sure someone - who may be quite technically brilliant - is aware of some basic issues in communication must be a good thing.

But I can see your point that you would think that these are common sense. I guess the basics are just that.
