To be an expert additionally requires growing:
  • Extensive Social Network;
  • Good Communication Skills;
  • Independent Wealth/Financial Support;
  • Socio-cultural Approval;
I have issue with just about every word of that post.

What constitutes the "absolute basic fundamentals" of brain surgery, for example?
Might as well say you can learn the "absolute basic fundamentals" of any field in 30 minutes by reading a Wikipedia article.

While the "improvement" list certainly has some useful items on it, the "expert requires" list is patently untrue.
Ask any autistic savant.
That list contains welcome advantages at most, not requirements.
