Beware Of Experts

When exclusively observing or studying something long enough, anything at all can be gleaned from the subject. It is a dangerous assumption that someone who concentrates too much on one thing--becoming an “expert,”--can’t get tunnel vision and begin to make unreasonable claims. When a person’s identity becomes too wrapped up in a single subject or pursuit their metaphorical vision can become hallucinatory. Without a variety of interests and/or an opening that remains available for new information to be fairly considered and evaluated, a person’s mental output is in serious danger of becoming bizarre, even preposterous. Too much of one thing can result in ugliness.
