I remember somebody on this forum saying the best way to judge someone's technical prowess is to give a simple explanation of a complicated part of their field. If you can't summarize your knowledge you don't know what you are talking about.

Unfortunately, a non-expert can't tell the difference between a good simple explanation and glib, confident ignorance. So I think that's a good test for expertise, but it's not one that a non-expert can fully judge.
