He is not wrong. I know quite a bit about plumbing, electrical work, car repair......Large amount of people who are licensed or considered experts are pretty terrible or generally lazy and cut corners. Finding someone good is really difficult.
- nordsieck 7y ago> He is not wrong. He's not wrong that the problem exists. It even has a name: the principal-agent problem. You're not wrong that the knowledge you have can help you sniff out bad actors. Every little bit helps. But it's not scalable. There will always be parts of life that you need to hire help with, but know very little about. How do you choose which hospital to have a baby at? Which criminal defense attorney to hire? Which violin tutor to hire for your child? Reputation is one the key ways people try to solve this problem when they're completely out of their depth.
