Given the intellectual firepower of those involved, that's both disheartening (it's something you never get over) and encouraging (even they have to deal with it).
Tracked it down: Episode 55, James Evans on Social Computing and Diversity by Design, March 11, 2021.
You just spoke to something that seems to come up a lot in the context of interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research, which is how it creates a chronic endemic imposter syndrome. That's a thing that I remember the SFI research undergraduates were [having a] very lively discussion about the fact. And they were like, "Oh, the senior faculty were coming in and [saying] no, no, all of us deal with that all the time". You can only be an expert in so many things and you're living in this big complex world.

The podcast itself is excellent and strongly recommended.
Me? I've been faking imposter syndrome for over a quarter century.
