I wouldn't be so sure! :-) I know a lot of experts and specialists
(perhaps I am one, too) and a lot of them are more than happy to talk
about their interests, even if they have to explain some "basic" stuff.
Explaining things to someone is one of the best ways to check your own
understanding, and even learn something yourself sometimes. Richard
Feynman used to say something like, if I can't prepare a freshman
lecture on a subject, then we [scientists] don't really understand it.
