* {{Averted}} for more specialized professional fields, including (but not limited to): medicine, law, psychology, engineering, and education. Many jurisdictions ''require'' people working in these fields to undergo periodic refresher training and accrue "continuing education credits" by taking classes, attending seminars/conferences, and/or publishing research articles as proof that they're updated on the latest advancements if they wish to keep their accreditations. Failure to do so means losing their license and needing to retake the board certification exam, alongside paying additional late fees, if they wish to be reinstated.
** The exceptions tend to be countries where the available technology is well behind the cutting edge and qualified individuals of any sort are in short supply.

* ''Series/StarTrekPicard'' has Picard seen this way by most of Starfleet. Hell, some of the younger officers don't even recognize him on sight and even need him to spell out his name. In season 3, we meet Captain Liam Shaw, who displays open disdain for Picard and Riker, calling them irresponsible, while he is a stickler for the rules. He loves to read about their past adventures but believes they should stand aside and let the newer generation take charge. [[spoiler:Shaw ultimately concedes that he's dead wrong. It's the older generation who ends up saving Starfleet from the Borg, because they're willing to take crazy risks that the younger generation just lived through and were traumatized by, back when they were ensigns.]]

A little more accurate to Scotty's actual dialogue.


*** Of course, Scotty literally wrote the book on all modern-Starfleet engineering, but freely admits to padding his estimates and withholding surplus power to look good. Basically, the reason Scotty is still a master is because modern Starfleet ''[[FridgeLogic still]]'' [[FridgeLogic haven't figured out]] that by following Scotty's bible, their starships are actually [[AlternateCharacterInterpretation kept from being half as powerful]] as they ''should'' be.

This means that when their captains inevitably demand they be pushed to their limits, Starfleet ships hold together under conditions that would make an equivalent Klingon or Romulan ship implode or fly apart at the seams.

* ''VideoGame/GenshinImpact'': Faruzan's specialty is "the analysis of the structure of and solutions to various ruin devices via the study of stone carvings and other ancient texts". However, since she spent 100 years trapped in a said ruin, her academic school Haravatat (language) no longer cares about just things. A rival school at the Akademiya, Ksharerwar (technology), finds her knowledge more interesting but she doesn't want to switch. Thus, while she wants to mentor current students, her obsolescence prevents her from gaining many students.

* ''ComicBook/RobinSeries'': In an odd twist Shen Chi, who helped train Tim in martial arts prior to Tim being fully allowed to take on the role of Robin, is so vastly outclassed as a fighter by Tim the next time they meet because Shen had considered a large portion of his own discipline obsolete and focused only on the fighting aspects of the ancient art his grandfather was the last true master of, ignoring the healing and meditation aspects.
