Domain Knowledge

I’ve come to recognize an unflattering character trait in myself:  I become uncomfortable when someone’s knowledge in any domain is not a subset of my own.  Usually this leads me to study rather than pretend — usually — but, still, kind of icky.

So, if you were wondering why I know large amounts about a vast field of subjects I have no real reason to — something multiple people have brought up recently — that’s the primary answer.

That’s also a bit more than I’m comfortable admitting anywhere.
