      That's so old. Many years ago a pug-nosed greek tried that. Being a smart-alek p1ssed everybody else off so much, they made him drink hemlock.

        That's the sort of thing that happens to you if you don't accept that everything is relative.

          Yes, relations are odd things. Does being an expert in a subject infer that the subject has an expert? i.e. Is it possible to be an expert in a subject, but the subject have no expert?

          Also, are these relation things real, relationes secundum esse, or are they merely figures of speach, relationes secundum dici?

                    No, the problem here is not with the word expert, but with the concept of a subject.
                    Take plumbing for example, a plumber can be an expert at soldering the joints, but an academic might be an expert at the theory of soldering joints. A third person might be an expert at teaching others how to solder joints. There might be a whole new method of doing joints that has not been invented yet, but when it is there will be a whole new set of experts.
