Missed this the first time round.
Trust me - college courses are _never_ comprehensive. They'll teach the
basics, and go into one or two aspects in detail. Really good
courses/universities will make students do nasty projects that will
force them to learn things comprehensively, but that's rare.
There just isn't time in the classroom.
For some areas, someone may know it really well because he took 3
courses which utilized it.

I never met anyone who really knew his stuff AND boasted about not

never became experts in much.
