I don't see how being an expert requires knowing and mastering literally everything related to the subject.
It's not humanly possible to meet that requirement, which means experts are the people who, ya'know, meet it to the near highest level that IS humanly possible.
No one who doesn't understand that they need to be constantly learning, and hasn't sharpened their ability to best seek new things and challenges out and learn from them would get anywhere near that level. Everyone who does approach it shares the attitude you have.
Basically, what you wrote is just part of what means you ARE an expert :P
Thank you, Isaac :) And please read my comment to Kurt above as well, I do agree that I should have further clarified what I meant by "expert" in the article.
