in my observation, people who are usually labeled as 'specialists' seem better generalists than the people who are labeled as such. Not sure why that is.

@eloy My gut feeling would be that it often correlates to one's general sense of competence; someone who has a general (and usually misplaced) sense of superiority might frame that as being a generalist, whereas someone who knows where their limits are would be more likely to speak in terms of specialisms?
