Here's my thoughts:

For any given Peerage, it is my opinion that Prowess is bestowed upon an 
individual by others in his/her chosen 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".
