I'm confused about #3
When you don't know about an area, typically you don't have clear ideas about what is easy and what is hard. It happens that you think that something is hard even though it is easy, or at least that you equate the difficulties of things that are in reality very different.

Yeah. Also when you don't know how something works, you tend to judge how hard something is based on how big the effect is rather than an understanding of the process, but when you understand the system and how to use it often small changes can have huge effects.

Being able to discern cost from value is what distinguishes experts. It's like watching Olympic level gymnasts and thinking "that looks easy, I can do that."

Woops, I was too quick and read "familiar"... #1 was a bit strange in that context but I think it could be given a meaning, and #2 and #4 seemed all-right
