relative skill levels. (I would be very interested in
any work that
looks at skill levels of formally trained professionals, self-taught
professionals, and "interested amateurs". But I've seen enough
I've heard it said 'Never underestimate the knowledge and ability of
enthusiasts'...
My expeerience suggests that self-taught amateurs/enthusiasts, because
they're interested in the subject, are often the best of the lot.
