I agree with your sentiment here, but I think it helps to think of those domain specific questions as technical questions, just from a different technical domain. Finance is technical, mechanical engineering is technical, even sports management and sociology have big technical components too. I think having an expansive view of what technical competence is breeds the humility necessary to work across domains.
Yes, sure, if it helps you to think in those terms I guess that makes sense. Being a bit reductive perhaps but I think what it comes down to is having an interest in the "why" as much as the "what" and the "how".
