If this were true nobody would hire contractors on a short time (less than a year) basis.

People who hire contractors are usually not developers. I've had my fair bit of working with contractors, let's just say that if you get them to work in domain logic without very strict oversight, you are going to have a bad time. Tooling, purely technical matters - that's more like something you can give them to work on.
