1/3 "Just overconfident dudes winging it" Always has been. To the novice, a grandmaster's moves appear "unimpressive, unimaginative." The best players, in sports, games, business are those who can "wing it" and win, not once but across thousands of tests, and when it matters.

2/3 Men will literally watch 100 men fail before them and say "I dunno.. I think I can do it.", as evidenced by the success of every carnival scam. But they might actually be THE ONE. The other 99% of men who never tried will say the success looks easy.

3/3 Being financially successful doesn't mean you're an expert in everything, as evidenced by all the rich men making horrible personal life choices. Being the best comes at the expense of well-roundedness. Tech happens to be heavy on the autistic savant class spec. Accept it.
