Lol wut? Incompetence with technology = idiot? Incompetence with technology automatically means a pretender to any competence?
Hardly. I've known lots of people who struggle with a fax machine or programming a VCR (when those were a thing), or changing the oil on their car, or hooking up a home theater, but were smarter than you and I combined when it came to physics or economics or law. If my lawyer doesn't know how to configure a print driver it doesn't mean they're an idiot, it means they're interested in learning law stuff, not print drivers.
Unless you're talking specifically about the IT guys, then yeah.
