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.
