Expertise

Pat wrote a post a few days ago asking what people thought of as expertise in a martial arts context. Having no grounds to speak of martial arts expertise, in my comment I drew from other areas I'm more adept at (music, etc).

I read a quote by Oliver Wendell Holmes yesterday that I think fit great with my idea of expertise:

"The young man knows the rules, but the old man knows the exceptions."
