    Sure, but the difference between “I win awards for figruing out how to decipher ancient scrolls that no one has been able to do despite their best efforts” and “I can’t research well enough to discover appropriate existing tools for document conversion” is very hard to reconcile.

      It’s not even a matter of research. The whole question is demented. It’s like asking what is the best pizza cutter to write with.

      Not particularly, in my book. Like I said, a specific skillset that allowed him to decipher ancient scrolls doesn’t equate to practical skills that translate to other things like document conversion.

      By way of another analogy, I can build a fine cabinet out of wood, but that doesn’t mean I can also build a wooden cuckoo clock.
