I stated an opinion. If you don't like the opinion that's fine. But it is my opinion and it is here for consideration. Nothing more ... nothing less.
The one thing you should know is that there are very few organizations that will hire someone that doesn't know syntax. Not once in an interview have I, or anyone I know, ever asked a candidate to walk up to a whiteboard and demonstrate how they use a GUI tool. On the other hand I have terminated interviews rather abruptly with people that couln't write an outer join, a correlated subquery, or use a set operator.
