Ok, I'll show my inexperience again and ask the newbie question that
  goes along with this topic.

How many skills should it take to achieve expert, assuming that you
  start with zero?

I've had a couple of warriors start as expert in one skill or the
  other, but so far none have risen to expert. Even if they had, I'd
  have no idea whether they had started at zero or not.
