In even if flame is his speciality, it does not mean that he does not know about other fields.

Spoiler for manga:
It's not clearly stated how much he knows about alchemy, so it was just an assumption I made myself.

And I didn't say that Roy was not skilled. He excels at his flame transmutation, and that alone qualified him as a State alchemist (just like Ed's ability to transmute without a circle, they both have impressive alchemy and the millitary didn't need more than that). I just assumed he's not the kind of person who would devote his time to tiring jobs like decoding or researching. Although he may know about other fields, I don't think his knowledge is up to the level of Ed, Al or Marcoh.
