Why Entrepreneurs Are Bad At Finding Their Competition

One of the points raised in the article is to understand why you can't immediately find a good competitor. 20-30 hours of search helps you cover your bases by finding the languishing or dead competitors; IMO learning what they have done to die out helps you avoid those pitfalls in the future. This could be part of your point about "knowing everything". Being prepared is paramount.

I think that sometimes you have to find out what are specific terms used in that field, it might not be initially obvious for a new comer in a field.

Definitely, it's not always easy knowing what to search for and it can take awhile to narrow that down.
