Expert (Feb. 14)
There are many smart people in the world all of which have a particlar field in which they are an expert. An English teacher likely has good command of the English language where a farmer might not. Try and hold a plat growing competition and the farmer will likely do much better. Part of what makes each person an expert deals with their experience. And yet still it is likely that there is someone else in the world that is more of an expert than you are even in your most advanced field of study. Their are figures like Plato and Einstien that we might consider to be the top of the field but that has not prevented others from scrutinizing their work. Too many people in the world talk as if they are experts on more than they really are and it usually relates to the notion of applying personal knowledge outside of the bounds of that knowledge. An electrical engineer may have some idea of how mechanical engineering works but if you needed a mechanical engineer you probably wouldn't call an electrical engineer first.
