Ask an expert ... carefully

Of course from time to time we need expert advice. However, this can give problems when the gap between the expert's knowledge and our own is too large. In such cases we might need a 'semi-expert' - someone who can translate between the two levels, using language both sides can understand.
Such an approach might cost a little more ... but considerably less than making a mistake based on a wrong interpretation of language or concepts that are not clear to us.
