Yes Deicide, I'd agree. But practically speaking, if I could, say, re-plumb a shower, and some other person cannot, that does make them relatively ignorant. On that particular subject.
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."
— Robert Heinlein, Time Enough for Love
Done all but two. I don't see the need to invade anyone, and I haven't died yet. I can accept my own ignorance in many things. Doesn't mean I can't criticise others.
