"To master a thing you must know it thoroughly.  When you speak to experts it is clear that they are intimate and absorbed with their speciality.  When you understand a thing fully, when you know how it will behave under all circumstances, when you introduce a change and know its impact and effect, then you have mastery over the thing."
