For most people, it's too much to handle.
Like I said, not sure how Canada Posts' operation is set up so I can't speak to them specifically.

It's not any more complicated than remembering the hundreds of little tricks in a video game after you play it a bunch of times. Children do that.
Mail delivery is certainly a combination of art and science, but it's not exactly higher learning. Nobody went to tech school or university to learn how to remember names, addresses, and how to chuck envelopes. And I say that with all due respect; I worked at the post office one xmas season. It's not simple, but it's not complicated enough that people that work there should feel like they're entitled to a job even if the company is slowly going out of business.
