How did you find a subject that you felt you knew 50% about? :-) Given how much I've learned from other people, and the web, I have difficulty feeling like an _authority_ on any technical subject.

I think beginner books are easier to get to that 50%. The subject I'm teaching really isn't that hard, it just needs to be explained differently.

So, that said - maybe it's not feeling like an authority, but more feeling like you have an alternate/interesting/different take on a subject.
