Haha, you have the opposite opinion of me, but you also pretty-much have the exact opposite experiences too. Maybe we both know a lot in our "main" subjects and think of all the underlying knowledge/related material is required to be useful, but in reality you can just pick up the knowledge you need on its own without any background knowledge on how it all works, you'll be confused when that stuff in mentioned or brought up, but if you stay in your niche you'll be fine.
