Explanation:

Anthony, the plant manager, was talking with another manager about Tim, the lead engineer in the corporate R & D department. Anthony remarked, "Tim is so bright, and he is an expert in designing products. But like so many experts, he can't imagine what it's like to be as ignorant as the rest of us. I think at times, he cannot see things from an outsider's perspective." Tim is suffering from  the curse of knowledge. The curse of knowledge also known as the curse of expertise, is a cognitive bias that occurs when an individual communicating with others unknowingly assumes that  the people he/she is communicating with have the background or intelligence to comprehend what he/she is talking about.

From the remarks of Anthony, it is obvious that they find it hard to comprehend what Tim says at meetings as he wrongly assumes that they should be able to comprehend.
