cognoscente Experts: Was Steve an expert? He was a college dropout, made lots of money and highly respected by the world, but, was he an expert?
An expert, more generally, is a person with extensive knowledge or ability based on research, experience, or occupation and in a particular area of study. Experts are called in for advice on their respective subject, but they do not always agree on the particulars of a field of study. An expert can be, by virtue of credential,training, education, profession, publication or experience, believed to have special knowledge of a subject beyond that of the average person, sufficient that others may officially (and legally) rely upon the individual'sopinion. Historically, an expert was referred to as a sage (Sophos). The individual was usually a profound thinker distinguished for wisdom and sound judgment.
He apparently fit some of these areas but in my opinion he was more of a determined person not following standards considered “musts” by experts.
