I strongly concur.
I suspect a so-called expert's ability to solve problems within a domain (i.e., how "expert" they are at that domain) would be a function of their ability to manipulate terms in that domain which to me is akin to their ability to those terms clearly.
I can't imagine someone easily solving problems within a domain wherein the terms they use are giant spaghetti balls of complexity. Anything can always be broken down into further levels of abstractions (or prove me wrong on that).
