5 . THIS particular knowledge are unimportant details of a much broader knowledge. As a Big Geographer does not care very much about the name of a three small villages somewhere in the Northern Noland. He knows the world very well, every state capital and the river it is on - and much more. Locals may think - How on Earth would you know where is Australia, when you don't even know how to come to Lolosmathen from Maxelberg!?

I've encountered this "pretending to be a Big Geographer" by dismissing something as "unimportant details" - many times.
