I agree, and I suppose by "theory" I mean anything that isn't code (even pseudocode). I've met many "type 2s" who can give you a great database and object model for whatever you feed them, but would be utterly lost if ever asked to translate into code.
And God help them if you describe a bug to them and ask them where they'd begin looking.
In the end it boils down to not doing. To be good at anything you need practice and experience, not just rote knowledge. Type 2s do not have this, since nobody holds a gun up to their head and makes them code till the early morn.
