Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page contention that not only do levels of knowledge among so-called “experts” often differ significantly, so do our perceptions of these levels. Our own level of knowledge, in fact, often determined whether we accept an individual as an “expert” and what level we assign his level of knowledge in comparison with other “experts”.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
When approaching virtually any arena of knowledge we typically recognize certain "experts" in that arena. These "experts" are commonly regarded as being
equal in terms of their level of understanding of their particular area of expertise. In reality, experts can differ as much in their level of knowledge on a particular
subject as can novices in that subject. Indeed, even the definition of "expert" differs significantly according to who is providing the definition.
The knowledge developer must recognize that while certain fields can be approached from a strictly scientific and mathematical perspective, other fields are more esoteric in their nature. Consequently, the
level of expertise in the latter type of knowledge arena can be significantly more diverse than the level of expertise in the first. In a knowledge arena in which
science and math provide the answers, after all, an experts qualifications can be specifically quantified. The answer to the mathematical equation "two plus two", after all, is four.
The "expert who answers differently could be demonstrated to be wrong. When we are considering one of the more esoteric arenas of knowledge, however, such demonstrative proof is not
always readily available. It is also important for the knowledge developer to recognize that even in scientific and mathematical fields many factors can
impact not only a particular "experts" command of that field but also our perception of that knowledge. The social and cognitive dimensions of scientific knowledge has, in fact, fascinated
some of the greatest minds on earth. Indeed, considerable exploration has been made of the role of large-scale social phenomena, in particular, in impacting scientific knowledge. Research in
