Hmm. But to do that you would have to take the position that knowledge
is something that can/should be "owned", that the commons of knowledge
and information should be all fenced and parceled out. It seems to me
that would be a very major drag on human progress and advance. In the
face of rapidly accelerating change that we are in it could very well
kill us.
But a specialized brain-lobe is more like a specialized processor rather
than knowledge. That doesn't seem quite so problematic.
