One of things that we should do as science progresses is open it up to more generalists as we learn its rules and how to teach it more effectively. Quantum Mechanics used to require expert knowledge to learn and use, but today, it is a standard part of undergraduate physics education, and all advanced knowledge in any field will eventually.

One of the signs of how developed a subfield of a science is is how easily it can be taught to non-experts.
