Contrary to what many people believe in the DDD community, in my opinion, we’re not here to become domain experts; we’re here to build software.

Experts no, but if you know what it’s about the software can be more user friendly, more robust and simpler. Otherwise you have to believe the domain experts and their mental model of how the processes and transactions work, which is not always near to reality
