Becoming an expert seems to require long-term commitment. The people who are experts in the way you describe are fixtures in their chosen circles. They have been around forever, probably learning over time what lines to push in order to get accolades from their colleagues. It is a boneless, weak person's game, but if one can play it well he can make a living and maybe even be on TV.
Being on tv sounds epic.
Indeed. It's the long game but the life of an expert is grand.
