How in the hell is someone going to design software, functions, interfaces, meet performance requirements (low/no bandwidth, disconnected ops) if they don't have any experience using the stuff?

Tishabet is closer to reality though rallying behind a SW Architect and/or PM with no applied experience would be foolish.
Agreed, you become an architect not through training alone (although you certainly need the skill set) but largely through experience. That's why most architects have come from a development background... they've put in the time and have the experience and aptitude to start designing the bigger picture.
