Ross Brown elaborated:
It's significant because I want to make sure that I don't come along and
sit down with a load of people who then spend three hours talking about
things I haven't a clue about (no offence meant to anybody, I could
quite happily talk to experts in many fields for hours but a newbie
wouldn't get much out of the conversation). It would be akin to my
sitting in on a class on particle physics when all I've got is a GCSE in
the subject: it'll go straight over my head and I'll come out none the
wiser.
