I think a point that I don’t find sufficiently stressed is that impostor syndrome is not so much about the perceived absolute lack of knowledge/expertise/… but rather the perceived relative lack.
At least speaking for myself, the experience of not knowing something in itself does not trigger any emotional response. Whereas comparing myself to people, who have an impressive amount of knowledge about something I don’t, is much more likely to make me feel more like an impostor.
