The curse of knowledge

The curse of knowledge is the blindness that comes from expertise: once you deeply understand something, you cannot easily recreate the beginner's mind that sees your field's obscurities. It explains why experts often teach poorly and why you need feedback from people still learning to see what you no longer notice.
