We are experts in nothing, yet we know a great deal about almost anything.
Exactly what is "a great deal?" I think one is just starting down the road to being an expert when you begin to get an idea of what you don't know. The current depth of human knowledge is such that a half lifetime of study is required in many fields to become a true expert.
Then again, sometimes, it's better to know less to get started. Knowing the sheer magnitude of what you don't know can be paralyzing.
Getting things done is a valuable thing in itself. A lot of arguably smart people have difficulty with this.
