"In the Kingdom of the Blind, One Eyed is the King" -Desiderius Erasmus
This quote to me holds the essences of what it means to be an expert on a topic. Expert is a person who knows about a given topic more than anyone else in the given situation. The problem here lies in the fact that if everyone around you is completely ignorant on the topic, being the best at something doesn't require much knowledge. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, especially when the praise you receive from the blind and ignorant makes you feel like you infact have two eyes instead of one.
The lack of knowledge associated with having only one eye can become painfully obvious when you bump into a person with 2 or more eyes. In these situations the best you can hope is to barely pass off as a two eyed person and make most of the opportunity to learn and hopefully one day you will gain enough experience points to gain the level needed to activate your second and third eyes.
