Domain experts make great teachers for domain-hoppers... I've been fortunate enough to meet many people much smarter than myself, and they're all domain-hoppers. To confine oneself to one area of study is not only to limit the problems one can solve, but the ideas one can have.

Yes. But "it takes all sorts". We need specialists; we always will. While I share your preference (& luxury!), the super high proficiency skills of experts will eventually be needed by us all. And when we do: we'll want the domain-focussed (granted *one* area is too narrow!).
