Rant: I Hate The Expert
Short rant. So @stammy recently tweeted a link to this excellent rant on the Smartest Guy In The Room. Great read, but I'd like to generalize it a bit. Know who I hate? The Expert. Yep, it's that guy who knows everything about anything and cries if they don't get their way.
You know who I'm talking about, don't you? That pretentious asshole who knows he's right, even when he's wrong. And when you prove he's wrong, he won't admit it. Shame on you should you decide to ignore their shitty advice. Never mind that you never asked for their shitty advice to begin with. If it isn't done their way, it must be wrong. They're immediately offended and go on the defensive. Maybe they're a "consultant" (title of deities) so they must be right. If they don't like what you've done then it's bound to fail since they're an oracle who holds the opinions of the masses. In fact, they control the opinions of the masses. They simply haven't decided to let the masses know yet. I just don't understand why so many people fail to grasp the concept of humility these days. Experts are great.
