Thanks!
This reminds me of an article that I'm going to curate today: "Being Different Beats Being Better" http://dariusforoux.com/being-different-beats-being-better/
I feel there's a huge pattern of "proficient in X and Y" opportunities that people underappreciate.
There may be a million people better than you at X, another million better at you than Y, but only 10 better than you at X and Y.
So if an idea requires expertise in both, the chances of success increase substantially. Or at best, there's simply no one who's ever done it!
