What is limits of expertise?

Example: You build a mental model of 'how meetings work' from your engineering team — agenda, timeboxed, decisions logged. Then you join a board meeting at a nonprofit and try to apply the same schema. No agenda gets circulated, the conversation meanders through relationships and politics, and decisions happen in the hallway afterward. Your meeting schema isn't wrong. It's scoped to a domain it was never designed to leave.

This concept is part of Schema Foundations in the How to Think curriculum, which builds the epistemic infrastructure for schema foundations.
