The real test of an expert is his ability to present information in a way
that a layman can understand it.
Richard Feynman's freshman lectures on physics, and his WONDERFUL little
book "QED" (quantum electrodynamics for the man in the street) come
immediately to mind. The fundamental test of whether one really understands
the topic is whether one CAN prepare a "freshman lecture" (or a "man in the
street" book or article) on it.
