Yes, but it's different to knowing stuff by heart that you can just
research. Note that I do not mention any specific search tool, I barely
even use the largest search engines.
The "top 3 gotchas of using traceroute" is something I would expect to
be part of basic skills that someone with at least mid level knowledge
in the field would possess. But how exactly traceroute does its thing is
something I personally like to read about but not remember word for word.
