And while it's a hobby horse of mine, assuming that a lawyer understands the law - even in his own specialty! - is a dangerous thing to do. As a doctor mate of mine once said - "50% of people are below average intelligence, so what does that say about doctors?". The same could be said about lawyers - and once you assume that all your hot-shots are in high powered jobs, what does that say about your average high street doctor or lawyer!!!
Mix a high intelligence, and a good grasp of the detail, and you don't need to be a professional to outperform your typical high-street practitioner.
Mind you, you also need my attitude to electrics - as an okay amateur sparky, my FIRST response to any job is "if I don't understand it, get a professional involved". You can then assess the professional's competence ...
Cheers,
Wol
