This is a lot like how I *know* what each OpenAI model is theoretically capable of (and their naming convention) while people who apply them in practice, like you, will have the procedural knowledge of actually using them in real-world scenarios. Or something.

I'm like the best in the world at that one tiny piece of the thing. Deep, but not as wide as I'd like to be, maybe?

Definitely fits my idea of what BJJ black belt is, at least instructor wise. Most browns and likely purples can run a class. And teach techniques well. But an experienced black belt instructor is going to be able to teach a technique and provide advice on different body styles, for the submitter and the submittee.

Hey thanks! BJJ is the lens through which I think about so many things, but this one really nails it. I agree completely about the difference between a brown or purple and a good black belt.

Those who can’t do, teach. And those who can’t teach, teach gym.

My wife is a teachers and she loves it when I say shit like that (so is my mom, sister and MIL)

Make sure to remind her of the easy life with summers off, too! Teachers love hearing that. Also: overpaid.
