Sufficiently expert

Added on by Spencer Wright.

From a Paul Graham essay titled "How to be an Expert in a Changing World:"

* In practice "sufficiently expert" doesn't require one to be recognized as an expert—which is a trailing indicator in any case. In many fields a year of focused work plus caring a lot would be enough.

Yes.
