term: Subject matter expert #40

I don't know who proposed this term originally. I'm just porting it over from the old register.

But I don't see what the word "matter" adds to this term label... Why not just 'subject expert'? Someone is either knowledgable of a subject or they are not — 'matter' matters not.

That said, it seems to me this is too obvious of a term to even bother defining. I propose we drop it.
