I don’t know, there are some that apear to be experts on every subject they debate 
It’s like the ‘jack of all trades thing’. I like them, Because chances are, when you are stuck, they can at least have a go.
So when you need some small talk!… do I want the guy/girl Stalin’s that only knows or wants to talk about their special subject?
But I do like anyone that can have a deep conversation, it doesn’t require them to have full knowledge of it, just to want to be involved I suppose.  |

I'm really happy you're branching into the deeper threads hun, knew you had it in you.
I think everyone is Dunning-Krugering in life to varying extents.
I'm going for neither. I think it's better for people to have a real passion and curiosity about topics - whether it's a handful or many things.

My favourite thing is hearing someone ramble off on a tangent about some specialist subject that they're super excited about and all the aspects of it even if it's not a subject that remotely interests me in itself.
But a little surface knowledge of the major basics also seems like a necessary thing in life. |

Ditto!
I used to play strip triv when younger.
Looking back now, I probably should have got more answers deliberately wrong. Probably would have led to more sex.

How people tick is more important to me than knowledge. I have Google for that.
If we have the intimacy to talk in unfiltered streams of consciousness for hours. Then we've found something worth knowing.
Intelligence I like. The ability to acquire and apply knowledge to solve a problem, quickly and efficiently. Life admin done. Back to our bubble.
If a pipe's leaking I don't want a lecture on fluid dynamics complete with derivations from first principles. Cool story bro could you get a bucket please. |

A good general knowledge is probably most useful, but I love it when people get into their subject and talk with passion about what they’ve learned. It’s like the spark lights up behind their eyes. |
