Expertise
So I've been thinking about what the Ash-hole has been saying recently and started wondering about expertise (that's what he works on).
So I was wondering what all of you considered yourselves experts in. As in, it's just ridiculous to argue with you on this subject. Please comment what and, if you want to, why.

C'mos Ash-hole. Everyone has something they consider themselves an expert in.
It's blog-speculatating expertise. If you were in a bar what should someone never argue with you about because they're hopelessly out of their depth with you.
I am an expert singer. I don't think "expert" means you have to be the best best. Definition is "a person with special knowledge or ability who performs skillfully". So I'm an expert singer and an SAT expert and probably some other stuff too. I am also fairly skilled at petty thievery.
I am an expert at discerning and predicting behavior. If i care to observe someone or something long enough, i can tell you WHY they did the things they did and i can make highly accurate predictions about what they will do in the future. Sometimes, i can even get in there and manipulate the situation if i'm really motivated. Identifying the specific reinforcers in someone's life is half the battle. The problem with my wonderous ability is that a) no one believes me, b) no one cares, or c) i dont care enough to waste my time employing these principles of observation and behavior modification. Most of the time its just easier to tell someone to fuck off or just ignore them.
