It's a wiki. Fix it yourself or provide the detailed explanation.
There is certainly nothing about this that requires both sides to be
fixed at full duplex. Networking isn't a one to one arrangement. I too
work in IT for a living and I can fix my servers at full duplex gigabit
without fixing my multitude of clients at full duplex as well.
