This is universal. It's why good trial lawyers beat good expert
witnesses on
cross-examination every time. The trial lawyer makes a point of
mastering
the expert's area of expertise (to the extent relevant to the issues at
trial), while the expert witness is always so contemptuous of lawyers
that
he makes no effort to learn anything about trial technique. The expert
always ends up looking like an idiot.
This is really universal. It's why XP project starts with Metaphor. It
is why good XP developer beat expert waterfall developer every time ;-)
