On the one hand, learning is a healthy part of any job, and if that's 
what you want then you have every right to ask it of your guy.

On the other, what's the point in forcing him to deal with software he 
isn't familiar with when he's already expert in other methods of 
fulfilling the same purpose? Could be a productivity drain...
