For those not aware, Jon Awbrey is an expert in his field and a sockpuppeter apparently obsessed with Wikipedia. He was finally kicked off en:wp when he tried to wikilawyer the definition of "wikilawyer." He is the Most Difficult Expert I hope ever to encounter on Wikipedia.

Experts can best demonstrate their expertise by having sufficient mastery of the field to explain their understanding of the subject to outsiders.

This depends very much on what constitutes an outsider and what constitutes an expert. Consider for example an expert in analytic number theory. The mathematician would hard pressed to explain to a layperson how the standard salvage of Merten's Conjecture- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mertens_conjecture is equivalent to the Riemann Hypothesis. On the other hand, if the layperson has had a basic course in complex analysis it would be more doable.
Quoting David Goodman dgoodmanny@gmail.com:

Doesn't appear to be obviously Awbrey.

Without reading the fineprint (or even the big print for that matter), the
idea of "Suggestions for expert editors" is fine. Just as long as they don't get special treatment and upset all the plebs.
