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.
