Is someone really knows what they are doing, then you don't have problems. If they have no idea, they'll be scare to touch anything, so again, no problems. It's the peckers in the middle, who "think" they know what they are doing but really don't that cause all the problems!

There is a sociology term called the Dunning-Kruger effect. Basically its that, plotted out on a curve with a lot of fancy research that says people that know enough to be dangerous have extreme confidence in their ability until they learn a little more and realize they don't know as much as they thought they did. Also sometimes called "15- 25 years old". The exact end point varies anyone who have survived long enough to realize how dumb they used to be knows what I'm talking about.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Also, talking out of one's arse is inversely proportional to knowledge of the subject in that age range. I was not immune to that either.

As I approach 40 the “15-25 years old” part resonates quite powerfully.
