-- Robert Heinlein
Experts know the past. They know what was probable when they became experts. They're betting with the house, but as every gamble knows, the house doesn't always win.
Experts are a great form of motivation. Nothing feels much better than proving the experts wrong. Their forte is trouble shooting. They can show you all the possible pitfalls, sinkholes, and swamps that lay ahead, even before you even take the first step on your journey. And then you can choose altenrative route.
Every new discovery, every creation, every innovation proves the experts wrong and places a fissure in the monolith of tradition that passes for wisdom. If you're the creative type, it's your job to crack their world wide open, and send the experts scurrying into retirement. Just be careful: Don't become the new, petrified, calcified expert yourself!
