Interesting essay from security professional Ilya Umanskiy, titled 'Expertise Bubble', key quotes:

the metrics we have been using to bestow the “expert” title on someone have not been right. Often a person is considered an expert just by virtue of association with a specific organization, or a title they have, or because of circles within which he or she is connected...

*’** *** ******** ****** *** ****** schmoozed ***** *** **** * ****** role. **** ***? ** *** ********, I **** **** *** **** ****** in ********* ** ****** ******* *** have **** ******* **** ******** *** their ************* ** *******.

******* **** ***** -'******** *******' = ********* ********** ** ****** ** '******' ** An ****.

**** ** *** *****? *****? ********? My ******** ******.
