Nah, it still doesn't mean you were spoonfed anything.
Some people may have done their gruntwork on another job or something, who knows. I know I did a lot of the work my 6 non mnk jobs on all mnk and it doesn't mean I'm not good on any of those other 6 jobs.
Edit: Like for my Sam, I'm working on Massamune.
I'm doing all of the work between my war and my mnk. I won't even be on sam again as a job until after Abyssea is over.
