Talk:Expertise

This is incorrect for two reasons:

1) A person can have expertise and not influence others. For example, one may be an expert in statistics and choose to never influence anyone to move to his or her level of expertise in that field. He or she is still an expert.

2) There must be a distinction between knowing and doing. Power is only exercised in doing. Knowledge is required to do, but power is in doing, not knowing.

Violence is something that is done. A violent act is doing. Wealth is not doing, but it does provide the resources to do or exercise power. Knowledge is not doing, but it does provide the capacity to do or exercise power.
