I can't tell you how much flack I got (for other stuff) at work, and next to nada in the way of chocolate chip cookies. I was good at my stuff and eveybody knew it, but nobody ever said it in a way that meant anything.

And as for "data validation"/ frame of reference also too true. Not everyone who can code is a CS major; nor do they feel the need to bone up on the relevant theoretical material ;-).
