Here's my take on this - you don't need to start out being an expert, but
you should have the skills to become one over time.

The ability to research, learn, and extrapolate information from a wide
variety of sources has been a key skill in every writing job. "How does
this work?" "Why does it work that way?" "What's the theory behind this?"
"How do they actually do this in real life?" And sometimes, "Hey guys,
wouldn't it make more sense to do it this way?"

You end up an expert almost by osmosis.
