* [ Third sentence, added at end, clause about personal style] To become very smart about an issue affecting a place and people you care about is not that hard.

I mean, it's only work, focused work.

You don't have to go through a woo-woo secret process turning you into the kind of expert hired by the other team with that kind of expert's personal style.

You just have to learn lots and all the way along say it back to yourself clearly. Saying it to yourself clearly is your practice for saying it to other people who also care about the same place and people you care about.
