I was perusing AoN, as I am want to do, when I stumbled across this ritual. Seemed cool. Read what happens on success and, well:
You learn a significant piece of lore, a forgotten secret, or some other tantalizing nugget of knowledge that is of immediate use to you, connected to the skill you chose. The GM will provide you with some piece of information they know will aid you in your personal goals. In addition, you become trained in the use of the selected skill and gain a +1 status bonus on checks made with that skill.
vs
Success You become expert in the use of the selected skill.
Now, there are certainly likely times where the immediately useful knowledge is going to be critical. But I feel like other times simply becoming an expert is superior.
This feels like almost certainly a mistake somewhere. Reading the heightened options for this ritual, it seems almost certain that Critical Success is supposed to make you an expert, plus all the other benefits.

Very fair point, nothing to add; just wanted to second this.
