Each has their place: the narrow goes deeper and the broad makes
   unexpected connections but can suffer from occasional
   shallowness. I prefer being a generalist yet in the areas where
   I am a specialist I try to "pull" the generalities out of the
   specialities without the specialities interfering excessively
   with the generality. Example: I know a lot about systems. I
   apply systems thinking to many subjects. Yet, I do not "talk
   systems". I don't use their language - never learned their
   language - it's just part of how I think. Or when I worked in
   IT, I never "spoke" IT. I understood it, but i could take the
   speciality and generalize and I preferred working with regular
   people over fellow specialists. == As far as "who's superior"? I
   would say it is the generalist. They may not get the intense
   satisfaction of restricting to a single field and delving as
   deeply as possible but they're far better prepared to deal with
   this strange reality we live in. ==
