** This one is debatable. Offshore oil drilling is an extremely specialized technical field, and the only real "astronaut-y" task the drillers have to learn is how to operate in a space-suit, something that wouldn't take too long. It's not that the astronauts are incapable of learning, it's that there isn't time to teach them.

* [[{{Sharpe}} Richard Sharpe]] is a great officer because he fought his way up from the ranks, defeating prejudice from the aristocrat-dominated officer corps who know far less about what warfare is like for the common soldier. Because of this Sharpe focuses on what he knows is important from his battlefield experience instead of getting hung up on theory like the book-taught officers. However, this trope is subverted in one way--Sharpe has a great respect for the upper-class William Lawford, who taught him how to read while they were imprisoned together in India.

*** Arguably ''double''-subverted. [[spoiler: Hooper was originally supposed to die earlier in the shark cage scene, but the scene was ruined because the 14ft shark tore the miniature cage apart before the miniature stunt-double could get in. The footage ended up being so incredible that they actually rewrote the movie to accommodate the shark's ad-lib. The way the original script went, ''both'' supposed experts ended up as fish food!]]
