Some of us don't always understand just how far out there we really are.
This is to say, we may percieve ourselves as being less knowledgable
than we really are. (Also, if we see a wider range of questions, then a
wider range of people can answer them.)

As an example, I had the privilege only fairly recently of "out geeking"
my own father. I never thought that would happen, and *I* thought the
topic at hand was only moderately geeky...
