Most eloquently and charitably put.

With any luck, the institution hires someone who can, with good 
support, grow into that kind of technician.  It is very much a 
bilateral relationship.  What is important is that the various 
parties keep each other's realities very much in mind, and work to 
each other's benefit.

Best.

Horace
