Excellent reply!
Having enough surface understanding to be able to apply common sense to a subject is literacy.
Knowing about it enough to teach it is mastery. The more people know the better, which is why we need to try harder to perpetually achieve a higher standard of education. Not just in the U.S., but in the third world as well.
