It’s easy to mistake in-depth topical knowledge for general intelligence and knowledgeability, both in yourself and in others. Most topics are far more complex than a superficial examination could ever hint at.
Hell, cognitive biases of knowing more about a given topic than you actually do are a studied phenomenon, and it would be unwise to assume anyone - including ourselves - to be immune to that. There are even severalrelevantXKCDs about it.

Just cause you’re smart doesn’t mean you’re not stupid.
An educated dumbass is still a dumbass.
