So am I. You read/learn more in a specific area and you stop being a moron (in that area). Only recently I realized the source of my frustration in my knowledge pertaining to my profession. For years I've been frustrated that I don't know about certain areas that "I should know of". I just realized that I've never actually learnt anything in those areas with enough effort. Just had a superficial knowledge, thinking that this is somehow deep. Thinking knowledge comes ex nihilo is very dangerous. It is a good point for me now, as, it turns out, there is nothing wrong with me, I just need to do my belated homework. It sounds stupid, but spans years in my example. Do the real stuff, you will have the real knowledge/skills.
