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.
