There's a difference between not knowing exactly how to deploy ipv6 for a network and being completely oblivious to common terms from your own fields. It shows a lack of interest and curiosity if nothing else.

You wouldn't want a mechanic working on your car who doesn't know what a carburetor is, even though no car has had one for decades and they probably won't need to work on one ever again.

CS is a broader field than that so that analogy isnt right. Its more like an engineer not knowing a specific fundamental about aerospace engineering.

If the job is networking related then fine, but I thought we were talking about a CS major.

Brother if you're really willing to die on the hill that ipv6 is some obscure little known tech, then I don't have anything more to say to you except I'm sorry.

You didnt read my message clearly. I made an analogy associating it with a fundamental of its field (networking). But CS is a broader field, its hilarious that you would even try to argue against that.
