You Can't Know Everything
The vast amount of information available about even something as focused as just the .NET Framework means that it is nearly impossible to know everything about it. Most of us don't just concentrate on one area of work. XP development environments do much to discourage specialization.
If you specialize in a particular field, you are potentially damaging both your career and the business you are working with. The specialization takes your focus away from seeing the bigger picture, which is harmful to both you and your business. There is no point in knowing everything about how to optimize databases if the core business needs of the software are not being met. If the data is stored in a way that does not provide easy access to valuable information for people in the company, it matters not how well its storage is optimized.
What is important is knowing how to get that information when you need it. Spiking is the tool that will help you get that information when you need it.
