    Moderate expertise tells you all the issues you might have to consider. Deep expertise tells you which you can ignore.

        Cannot agree more. But who decides the expertise?

        Not always lack of deep expertise. #Autism can also prevent one filtering ideas.

        But that deep expertise can also be limiting:https://www.wired.com/2010/11/the-cognitive-cost-of-expertise/ …

        Both statements true: basic things like sight is deep expertise (is mod expertise stage abs here?) & yet vision foiled by visual illusions

        Well if the person with deep expertise cannot answer simple questions or rebut the fallacy pointed out to them, that becomes an opportunity.

        Was just talking about that topic with a friend. Do you think the iterative process to reach that conclusion is inevitable though?
