I love that book, but I’m not sure Kahneman would agree that it applies here when we are evaluating not whether an individual looks sharp (imagine a salesperson on commission) but instead whether the individual+their work/domain/communication is sharp.
I find that to be a very valuable signal, and I’m struggling to imagine how I could be disagree with on this.

It’s a classic case of the halo effect. If you had an electrical issue, you wouldn’t contact your doctor because they are good at figuring things out and pretty smart. Domain specific skills and habits are just that.
