I like this discussion.  So where does one make the dividing line?  Lets 
swap the story a bit.  That clock thing is too cliche even for me.

I find it completely acceptable that I can use an Apache server without 
understanding how it's made, what all the options are, or even how to 
set it up.  I believe I should be able to walk into the bakery and ask 
for a dozen cupcakes and have the person there interview me for the 
needed information, and then give me a box with my cupcakes, made the 
way I asked they be made.  That's all I am asking.  A Wizard interview 
that asks the questions at my eater-of-cupcakes level of understanding;  
not at the level of the baker-of-cupcakes.  Plus ask all the questions 
that are likely to be needed.  ( CORS would be my example for that.)
