Expertism
This is an interesting concept that we have come across while selling baby ferrets - but it exists in all worlds and at every human endeavour. It seems that the human brain needs to be an expert in something - it can be anything - and then it must tell everyone all the facts about the field in which he or she is expert in. We've had a cavalcade of ferret experts come through our doors all with their tips and advice - usually contradicting one or another. Some people are 'expert magnets' though - these people attract experts to 'tell them all about it' - Sue's one of these magnets - if you're one be ready to hear lots of useless information. I am prone to expertism. Maybe that's this blog in a nutshell. If you want an afternoon of being expertised go along to an historical reenactment. You can be explained to death. There is not a lot of room for two experts on the same subject in the same talking space so they tend to prowl in singular form. Experts meeting each other while on the hunt for listeners can have a messy set-to. Still who am I to talk on this subject - I'm not an expert in this field.
