I think you've nailed it. When ever I get a "blah" by the numbers briefing,
I ask them if they are a pilot. If the weather is questionable and they are
not a pilot, I ask for a briefer who is. Sometimes one is "available"
sometimes not.

I, too, have been struck by the variability between briefers, and it
would
appreciate it if Lockheed (or whomever) standardized their methods a bit
more.

I wonder if it's not like ATC, where some of them are pilots and some of
them are just doing a job, and while all of them know the basics of the
job, the ones who are also pilots understand it better from our side and
go that extra mile?

With M$, as far as I'm aware, the stupidity comes bundled with the
