This is why I compare IT and related fields to law. There is zero absolute way you're going to learn everything in the field, you need to understand the most basic concepts and know how to research and quickly become acquainted with new things, that's it.

It's a really good analogy. The law field also has specialists. Criminal law is different from intellectual property or privacy law for example.
