It's usually much easier for an expert in techniques to develop some domain expertise than vice versa - as long as they recognize the actual need to do so. And actually, the techniques end up being pretty good mechanisms for rigorously building such domain expertise, as you see which variables lead to good predictions and what pattern of interactions leads to breakdowns in performance.
