you're right of course, 
...in the ironic sense you mean it, that is.
no specialist
...the homely voice of the chorus, i'd guess.

i have a farmer uncle who's scornfull of my understanding
for lack of having plowed, planted and harvested.
i have an economist brother tells me i know nothing for
not knowing fiscal, macro, money supply, whatever...
a cousin judge insists, never having laid down the law,
i can't possibly know anything worth his listening
...you get my drift.

each has a speciality he inflates
to fit his narcissism and labels "truth"

your idea is to multiply stilted verbal formulations 
among a rare few fellow specialists...ugh

well that's ok with me, i guess;
but you might concede at parting,
this makes a pretty good fit 
with the frankfurter notion of 
the bourgeois brahmin caste,
brewing the final mystification (dasein-verbum)...of capital
