knowing buzzwords does not mean that the speaker knows the concepts behind them. Often they don't.
But within a group of knowledgable engineers in a specific subject area, its natural to use jargon. Every field has it, engineering, science, medicine, law, etc. You use the jargon that has specific meaning when you want to talk in shorthand among peers.
Its a shame that the HR departments of the world's companies insist on seeing buzzwords in resumes. Pointless and even counter productive.
