But they keep implying they are software engineers using JSON in a development capacity... I'd understand a system admin updating a config file to only be familiar with the syntax, but if you're consuming JSON in your code you either understand the spec enough to implement it, or you didn't write that code...

Something rubbed me wrong about not knowing what JSON is and insulting web developers as not real software engineers in the same breath.
