I disagree with the portion of the "Specialists of all kinds are highly overrated" statement. Specialists are persons who take care of certain tasks or a specific area of whatever the case may be. These persons contribute more time and effort than those with general titles. the specialists are the ones who can tell or give the client more details on what is happening to them. The generalist can only give broad ideas which can be a number of things. The specialist narrows the ideas down to the specifics. For example if one goes to a "general fractioned doctor" for pains in the chest area, he would tell the client that the problem may be heart burns, or something else that’s not be so serious, depending on the symptoms. He may also refer him to a cardiologist to be sure it’s not any thing else. The point I’m making is that specialist are people who can help us out even more that our generalist. Also the fact that one would go to a specialist only in dire needs.
