you even see it here, poasters are generally smart and know enough about many topics but it's just lol how dumb you all sound about a topic to someone who knows it in any real depth. you're always scratching the surface enough to be annoying and/or dangerous, but can never make any actual contributions to the discipline. however, to their credit, they're good at deflecting or distracting when called out

it's marvelous, you see it everywhere lawyers gather.

people here have a really tough time just saying "i don't know". They'll know 1 piece of information about most subjects and then confidently discuss it in depth as if an entire body of knowledge can be extracted from it.

yeah, i think it's one of the main reasons i hated law school, it was chock full of people with unearned confidence whose day job was to learn only the skill of matching rules that other men created to a similar set of circumstances. that's it, that's what lawyers do. there's little innovation or interest, it's glorified clerk work and yet everyone had massive egos like they were on the same level as people doing actual, important, humanity advancing work.

not sure if it's one of my bigger strengths or weaknesses but i freely volunteer i don't know something when i don't.

truer words have never been spoken.

i too will concede when i don't know something or if someone has convinced me that a belief i held was wrong.

this is a problem set from an introductory course on MRI sequences which is necessary knowledge to analyze what you're looking at:

in order to do what he does with his kind of success, it is helpful to be divorced from reality. he doesn't believe he is running a scam mill settlement firm and he does believe that he's truly a great and thoughtful person. not understanding his true nature doesn't hold him back one bit, in fact the opposite -- kind of a good counterexample to the OP.

i sent it to my dad and he knew the answers readily. according to him, that this is background knowledge everyone learns for the test and then just intuits the core principles going forward when interpreting different MRI sequences.

CSLG has no idea that different MRI sequences even exist and how they impact what you're looking at

ever read an article about something you know a lot about by a business reporter or a legal reporter? they know very little but think they're MFEs and they sound like total idiots if you're actually a MFE.

Yeah, it’s true. The main difference is they’re paid to bullshit for an article and know they’re bullshitting whereas lawyers have this weird insecure need to volunteer fake expertise irl on things they don’t actually know very much about just to prove that they are Wise, Important, Learned men who you should hire for advice. It’s almost like a biz dev play. To be fair, lawyers do possess a wider breadth of knowledge than almost all experts but that almost works against them because it leads to oversimplifying and forming premature conclusions on things they don’t know in detail.

“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

― Michael Crichton
