A professional race car driver can do phenominal things with a car that the average citizen can't.  They also generally know more about kinematics and dynamics than most people and a few race car drivers are even experts in this.Just about any engineer or physicist though is going to be able to describe in detail the forces and moments acting on a race car.  They will generally be able to do this regardless of their specific field of study.  None of them can drive as well as a professional driver and many of them are terrible drivers behind the wheel.In this example the race car driver is the Wizard, the engineer is the non-Wizard who knows more academically about what the Wizard does.2. A typical Soldier or Marine is a marksman able to outperform over 99% of the general population when it comes to shooting a rifle.   Many of them are also experts in weaponry and the mechanics and operations in general.  However many others are not.Meanwhile there are millions of Americans who are not great shots with a rifle but can talk about how one operates in detail, and know more about this than many of those soldiers or Marines.In this example the Marine is the Wizard and most of them are experts on weaponry, but there are also experts outside the field who do not use weapons yet know just as much or more about them.</blockquote>
