“An expert’s someone who can read documentation faster than you can” - or so the computer-nerd saw goes, anyway.
This all reminds me of another idea I keep meaning to do something with, but never get round to: that usually ‘having ideas’ is a bit like running an import-export operation between different fields of work, and not really all that much about thunderbolts of divine inspiration. Of course, though, that’s not an original notion…
