That slithy word will haunt my dreams.
Fundamentally expertise means something very different
in the wikipedia
verse - it means not being able to frame competing ideas out, but being
able to draw a large enough frame so that readers can reasonably weigh
the competing ideas available.
Yes, this. Being a field expert helps in being competent to draw such
frames, and helps even more in filling in the frames with all
available ideas, but is neither necessary nor sufficient to make an
expert contributor.
