Here's my thoughts:
For any given Peerage, it is my opinion that Prowess is bestowed upon an
individual by others in his/her chased field of endeavor. It would have
to be readily agreed upon by a high percentage of those with knowledge
in that field of endeavor that yes, that person is really good at what
they do.
It is other people's perception of our own Prowess that define it for us.
Methinks it would be boastful for a single person to state their Prowess
at something, but the same statement would be truthful and above
reproach if uttered by several others.
At times, Prowess may be first thought easier to divulge with one
Peerage than another, but it may just be a factor of "needed external
opinions".
