That Heinlein quote is nice, but also a little absurd.

I can change a wall outlet or a light switch, but if I'm rewiring my house, I'm calling my brother-in-law, the electrician, just like he calls me when he wants a trumpet player. (And if he wants a guitar player, he calls my brother, not me.)

Specialization is for people in communities, which we all are whether we want to admit it or not.

Building a moral philosophy around a fiction author who didn't even follow his own advice is absurd.
