(1) Knowing how to use crypto safely is hardly "expertise". It's something that can be learned quite quickly from experts.
(2) Having a general idea of many areas in life is important for a functioning society and becoming a healthy human being.
I really dislike this narrative that we must not think for ourselves. Always delegate. Always leave it to the experts. I see the same anti-intellectual sentiment in programming communities.
- Don't write assembly, compilers are smarter than you.
- Don't think about building your own networking stack. It's too complicated.
- Don't write your own OS. Do you think you can outperform Linux? Lol
