- Generalists will see specialists as arrogant and stubborn, and accuse them of seeking to rule and being complainers when things don't go their way
- Specialists will see generalists as quitters and feeble-minded, and may also characterize them as being lazy or short sighted.
- Generalist and Specialist are probably a continuum, and elves find themselves on a spectrum.
