Prior knowledge and experience in the field tend to make one a better BDO, and allow one to pick up on the specifics of the program more quickly.

Based on what has been disclosed on PV with training even a rock could do what BDO's do.
I can't find a source for statistics at the moment. The BDO selection process and training class both have significant washout rates. So, no, it is not something that "even a rock could do"
Also, what items on PV led you to this conclusion? I don't always agree with what they post, but I don't recall anything that would lead a reasonable person to this conclusion.
From the PV Blog BDO thread and other comments that is my take on the program.
It has been stated that the things looked for are unconscious things the observed person does and they are not in control of those actions. It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to teach a person to look for certain actions. Will some be better observers than others? Certainly, just in all other areas of education and training.
So tell me, what are the educational requirements to enter the BDO program?
No degree required? A degree in any field required? A degree in human sciences? A degree in Law Enforcement? An advanced degree?
Just wondering!
