They are not.

Yea, I would agree.. We are not above average as a group....

Personally, I took the test expecting to fail, having just taken the
General to upgrade my Tech Plus. I figured, what the heck? It didn't
cost anymore to try and I had studied some. I didn't think I was
ready, but I passed so here I am, lucky to be an Extra in my
estimation.

So, do I consider myself an expert in all things Ham Radio by virtue
of my license class? Nope, I got a lot to learn and I'm sure there
are some folks out there who have a boat load more practical
experience than I, but have less privileges. The two Elmers who are
largely responsible for me getting my original license among them.
Thanks guys! (WB0WMP, K4GRW )

Nothing wrong with that. For many years, our club satellite "guru" and our
club VHF/UHF "guru" were Technician's or Tech Pluses. The VHF/UHF guy had
been a Tech Plus for over 10 years. Everyone in the club (as far as I know)
respected their expertise in these areas. In the last couple of years
they've both upgraded to General and then Extra.
