In a proper discipline, then yes, that rule usually applies but not in the field of theology, particularly if it's being used for apologetics.
Like it or not, commiting 20 years to theology is no different than commiting 20 years to a similar historical discipline.
Their's multiple languages, sociology and study of ancient cultures, secular Historical reseach, I would say that a proper Christian Theologian has to do/learn the same diciplines as anyone else that studies that same time period, but also has to reconcile the word of God.
Anyone who strives to obtain this same level of knowledge, in theology (and has spent years in study) order to share it with others are miles above and beyond the one who thinks he knows everything because he gets all of his info from youtube and anti god websites.
