-shrugs- I don’t get that from that paragraph, but I guess it depends on how one thinks the author means “domain”.

I’m used to meeting “domain experts” who know all about the corner cases in the current implementation. Often they are the people who argue with the suits and it never ends well for them.

It's specific jargon in the Domain Driven Design community; "domain" == "business domain". Some of the links in that section of the OP give more detail.

I recommend DDD in particular, it's a great architectural framework, though it's a bit dense and hard to approach.

A good starting point: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/DomainDrivenDesign.html

That doesn't sound like a domain expert. This sounds like somebody who is pretty familiar with the current implementation.

A domain expert understands the business use case and the market. I would say they can act as a good Product Manager.
