It's inapplicable in my case.  I do not presume myself to be the
world's sole leading expert on anything of much significance.

Not even this.

And definitely not this.

There is a slight exception: stuff so niche that I'm basically the
only person who's written anything on the topic.  I have tried that
game before...and either the AI explicitly said that I was the only
source it could find (which invalidated any surprise when it then
quoted my arguments) or the AI was clueless on the topic.  In the
latter case, it wasn't aware of my writings until I pointed it to them
(via URL, via providing specific names it could look up, or other such
means: no cheating with "but I didn't specifically point the AI to it"
when I gave it enough info to find my stuff).
