I agree with the first post on this. It's all relative.
I remember someone asking a woman I worked with for advice on Powerpoint. He asked her if she was a Powerpoint expert, to which she claimed "yes". I know for a fact that I knew more about Powerpoint than she did, but I wouldn't have claimed to be an expert. Nevertheless, the question that was asked didn't need an expert to answer it, just a basic understanding. She solved his problem and he walked away happy and her 'Expert' status was reinforced.
