I was a 'generalist' for most of my career. I had started, run and sold a successful business that required me to touch all parts of the business.
Until a Sales Director absolutely schooled me in the theory that underpinned his work. He seemed insulted that I claimed to be proficient in sales. It was an insult to his specialism.
I would suggest you really test yourself in one of these areas before claiming you're proficient. I've never met a single person who was proficient in all the above. I've met plenty of people who could trudge along in those areas.
It's technically feasible.. but in my opinion, if it's happened with you then it's very likely to be happening with others.
There's no one single way to setup telco infrastructure, so it would be educated-guesswork in the case of Google Fi.
Worth noting VoIP is real time, it either works or it doesnt. And if a call is being setup between two parties and it's otherwise a good quality call, then monitoring is unlikely to mark it as a bad call.
Personally, I would recommend logging this as a bug (if Google Fi allow it?) as I suspect it will be near impossible for them to spot these scenarios, even with clever monitoring tools.
I'll be keeping an eye on the news for follow ups on this one!
