I'm considered an expert in my field and I still learn new shit each and every day of the week.
There are people out there convinced we've mastered science. I forget who it was in the late 1800s that claimed that mankind now has a perfect mathematical representation of the universe thanks to physics and that there wasn't anything more to learn.
The problem is that most people that spend two decades on a particular topic think that they know everything about it. It drives me crazy (should say crazier :-) ). I'd love to know how many of these fucking "experts" have stifled innovation all over the world just because it might make them look a little bit stupid for a day or two.
You should see what a lot of these beta faggots do to get some of their idiotic fucking ideas into a specification just to have their egos massaged. They can take something straightforward and pervert it into a 300 page document loaded with fucking garbage that nobody will ever use just to say "I came up with that idea". Everyone is afraid to call them out of course since it might 'hurt their career'. (I gave up going to conferences after the first one I went to ... that experience made me wonder how in the hell the industry gets anywhere).
In 4th grade I learned the Scientific Method said to question your own results. Then I watched elected leaders defer to "scientists" who claimed the science is settled. That's when I started listening to Limbaugh.
Being given classes on science doesn't make you a scientist. Being curious does and actually doing the field and lab work yourself. Then you have knowledge and freedom. Tie yourself to a school and you have limited study you can do and report or they'll toss you aside.
The New Pork Times had to retract a hit piece on the rocket engineer Goddard decades later when they claimed space was a vacuum, so his rocket would drop out of the sky.
They failed to admit their stupidity until men landed on the moon.

Dude had to be a fucking idiot liberal.
Becoming an expert merely means you have attained the capacity to learn even more, not that you already know it all.
I agree 100%.

I think Galileo said the same thing...those beta faggots
