Actually if anything, this only serves to show you don't actually know what you're talking about. The roles are the same, it's how they go about that role that differs. White Mage's and Scholar's are primarily healers, that means they manage they will prioritize their healing targets, before considering DPS. They'll begin to learn which skills are the heavy hitters, so they can time their spells to heal the tank or DPS after the hit lands. Good healers can also predict status ailments and remove them so quickly that the party member is none the wiser they were ever afflicted. You don't just teach skills like these, you learn them through experience.

A player who has played DPS knows that they need specific cardinal directions to utilize certain skills or abilities to their full extent. A player who has tanked, knows the best ways to recover from aggro loss and how to maintain it.

And the big one, a player who has played DPS, Healer and Tank has not only played three jobs, but a wide range of jobs. Know why? Because a successful player has gained cross-class skills from a variety of jobs, and will understand which skills benefit most. As a result, most players who have all three at level 60 will have a fundemental understanding of the other jobs, even if they have not capped them!
