I'm sure you are correct, but I suspect you'll find this is more for economic
or other reasons rather than because they make the best BAs. They may have a
good understanding of the business requirements but this doesn't necessarily
mean they'll be able to turn that into software if they don't know how to build
software.

Sorry but I can't really accept this. I think you'll find BAs come from a
variety of backgrounds but I'd be surprised if any are much good if they don't
know much about software engineering (formerly or informally gained): that's
what they do. This involves far more than an understanding of "IT context".
Surely the best training for a BA would be in software engineering/system
analysis or whatever you want to call it.
