One of the things about charlatans is that we—oops, “they”—are an uninformed person’s idea of a genius.
When you hear them speak about a subject you happen to know something about, the illusion is pierced and you see them for who they really are: Dilettantes.
Given this dynamic, charlatans have to always operate at the cutting edge, because that’s where expectations are highest while simultaneously, information is lowest.
