Knowledge which can be transmitted to your students exactly because it can be cited, not because you simply *know*. Knowing in many cases is simply a short-hand for "I'm too lazy to figure out where to look it up." The domain expertise is useful because experts, true experts not faux ones, know where exactly to look it up. And cite that.
