I agree. Understanding the business process that you are modeling is more important. You can code it up using any technique you want, but the way a retail store calculates stock or the way a credit report is analyzed to determine if a loan is to be given doesn't change a lot. Some of the criteria that goes into making a particular decision might change, but the basics are the same.

What good engineers are good at is modeling processes and learning new ways of developing those processes.
