Why “omnicompetence” is a great word

OMNICOMPETENCE — [Noun] The state or quality of possessing the ability or sanctioned authority to handle all matters. Formed within English by compounding, from the combining form omni- ("all") and the noun competence ("ability, authority"). Unlike competence, which implies adequate skill in a specific domain, or omnipotence, which denotes unlimited power, omnicompetence emphasizes a universal breadth of functional skill and jurisdictional scope. It is the imagined purview of the Renaissance polymath, the presumptive charter of the totalitarian state, and the crushing expectation upon the modern individual—a phantom ideal that, in its very conception, pronounces a verdict of inadequacy upon our beautifully limited humanity.
