Ahhh, yes. The officers are always stupid and the rank and file far
more intelligent, aren't they?

Unfortunately, the phenomenon Mark F writes about is far too
common--someone achieves a reasonable amount of success at FITB, and
then believes him(her)self to be knowledgeable about everything. IME,
that's very rarely true.

Also, in the above instance, the rank and file often still remember
that they don't know it all.
