I assume for most people what you said is how it works.

I change it up by assuming everyone is a dumbass but just informed on their one subject matter. Rare to meet people who are good at multiple things or, more importantly, good at learning multiple things. Usually I take smarts as being your ability to learn - not your amount of deep knowledge on one subject.

Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to be smart. We have an amazing assortment of great teachers online that do it all for free in a variety of formats that are accessible. Sadly, feels like relatively few people access the information.
