I'd like to reiterate a distinction that I think is important here. I
consider competence as a separate domain to knowledge or competence even
though they are related. This allows unconscious competence AND conscious
learning. To me, this handles this dilemma that keeps coming up here.
Even though we are competent, we STILL scan the environment and continue
to LEARN.
Hope this helps.
