in reply to Autodidact Followup

There are tasks that require each particular mindset in established fields, but only autodidacts can create fields. That is, an autodidact is always responsible for an emerging technology or combination of existing ones in a unique manner.

Why?

    Presumably (from what the author has said), a non-autodidact could only learn from an established field, from a teacher. There would be no teacher in this new field, thus you would need to teach your self. This is, of course, my interpretation of his writing, as I have no outside information on autodidacts and so forth.
