I'm thinking that indeed it's not about mastery of "one thing" but instead mastery (or at the very least competency) of "a process" or even better "a system" (aka a reproducible process). It reminded me of a part in The Millionaire Fastlane where he talks about true success being a process instead of an event like "most people" would think.
Hmm. We're essentially in agreement, although I never really liked the term "system". Systematic - or, rather, systemic - thinking is, I believe, a way of sheltering oneself from potential dangers/anything that might induce a fear-based reaction in the nervous system; a false sense of comfort, one might say.
Love the term "reproducible process", though. Hell, why not make it a "self-reproducible process" while we're at it!
I think systems have a tendency towards limitation, while what we're working with here is an infinite or nigh-infinite, possibly ever-expanding "structure", for the lack of a better word. I find myself wanting to call it "The Process of Thought and Life" for now.
For some reason, I can't stop thinking of the good 'ol phrase "controlled chaos" to contain what I'm gradually arriving at.
