Expertism can become an occupation on its own. Like celebrityism. In certain fields, we need professionials to passionately acquire as much knowledge and experience as possible to become experts. In others fields, we don't. We don't need experts high flying experts who may in the future, make it his/her crusade to save a dying field or technology.
Cancer research -- we need experts. Video game critics -- we don't. Geology yes. Campaign fundraising no. School teachers yes. Auto mechanic no. In some fields, we only need competency, not expertise. Farmers yes. Computer programmers and techs no.
