David: in my experience shifts of terminology like these just move us into
a new set of problems -- certainly in this specific case 'expertise' drags
along a few tricky connotations? What _may_ work (but also become awkward)
is to try to shift from nouns to verbs... though shifting from 'knowledge'
to 'knowing' doesn't seem to broaden it as much as you attempted.
