> We're all morons outside of some very narrow areas of expertise

speak for yourself, I guess? Some people know things in many areas. But even if they are not experts outside of their areas of expertise, they may recognize their limitations in other areas and thus avoid making costly mistakes. This may even be the rule for adults, rather than the exception.

Some people believe they know things in many areas. This is typically the Dunning-Kruger effect in action.
