Wrong. Like most fields, there is a bell curve. There are a bunch of stupid and/or lazy programmers. So as long as you aren't lazy or retarded, you will do fine. Plus there is diminishing marginal returns. You learn most of your general knowledge in the first handful of years.
And even outside of strict programming, many jobs benefit from programming/tech knowledge as a secondary skill. QC, project management, jobs with SQL/scripting interfaces, and anything that works alongside programmers benefit from that knowledge. Even a run-of-the-mill office worker benefits heavily from VBA/AppsScript knowledge.
