Unless entering a subdomain diametrically opposes the entering of other subdomains, the way I always approached this question was that of questioning why it's necesssry for them to be at odds with each other. I felt that over the years of meeting tons of people whom I felt were quite "specialized" from my point of view, it would turn out that these rockstars were also generalists in that they picked up so many things across lanes that they were able to develop their niche or what I thought of as their specialized skill. Sometimes having a lot of general skills and making them work together in a novel way could arguably be a form of specialization, thus establishing a spectrum or cycle of development At risk of oversimplifying: Einstein endeavored on his established specialty in physics, but everyone would agree he was also just really good at physics in general if considered by generalists or interdisciplinary scientists, right?
