What exactly is a "political expert"?

[ruraljuror]

The distinction being made is between an expert in politics and someone who is political and an expert in something else (like tech).

I interpreted it as the distinction between someone who presents themselves as a political expert and someone who actually is.

I enjoy my interpretation more, but I think you're right. Good call.
