No, it is not like that at all. It is like asking a Carpenter to build a cupboard and thinking he's unqualified for the job if he's only ever used Craftsman screwdrivers because that means he can't use Husky screwdrivers.
Its also like deciding to hire an HR guy based on what brands of keyboards or pens he's used.

I get what you're trying to say and I agree 100% it's foolish to make hiring decisions primarily on having X years experience with Y technology but let's not pretend all technologies are as interchangeable as a Craftsman screwdriver vs a Husky one.
Just because someone has a lot of experience working with wood doesn't mean they can do anything with wood well (at least not without sufficient time). You probably wouldn't want Antonio Stradivari to build you a house or Bob Vila to make you a violin.
