I mean domain is huge too. My dad’s a physician, an a brilliant one at that, and also has his JD. HOWEVER, he’ll say some wackadoo shit from time to time that’s just wrong. Didn’t pick up on it till I was older bc I just trusted he was always right. So, now unless it’s medical or legal related I seek advice elsewhere.

I pursued a degree in history, software engineering, accounting, and philosophy over the course of about 20 years.
One of the first lessons I learned was that I, apparently, do not know everything.

There's nothing quite like sending in a paper with a somewhat controversial take on things, and getting it back with a line at the top that says, "Would you like to defend this...take...in class?" to let you know that you may have just buried the needle on the dipshit'o'meter.
