> Imitators can’t answer questions at a deeper level. Specific knowledge is earned, not learned, so imitators don’t fully understand the ideas they’re talking about. Their knowledge is shallow. As a result, when you ask about details, first principles, or nonstandard cases, they don’t have good answers. Uh, or they just don't have answers to things off hand. A college professor who lectures every semester multiple times about something is very good at reproducing knowledge and fielding questions on that knowledge. However, someone whose expertise is largely procedural will have difficulty fielding answers to "deep questions".
