when the first tier incompetence stops, the direct contacts will stop too.

But, but, but...when the first tier support person gets the training to not be incompetent, he is promoted to the second tier and the vacuum is filled with another incompetent first-tier person.

So, by definition, the first tier of support will only be able to answer questions "from the book". Anything more complex than what's in "the book" is bumped to the second tier...where the problem is above the second-tier pay grade and it gets bumped further up the chain.

It's a variation of the Peter Principal: ex-incompetents will rise up the promotion ladder.
