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

        And shallow expertise tells you that you know exactly which one issue you need to focus on (but you're 100% wrong) #dunningkrugerpic.twitter.com/12hmZU1ZqZ

        Sometimes quite the contrary: minimal expertise might tell you everything is an issue.
