>I understand what the parent is saying. Respectfully, I think you're still missing the point as demonstrated by your last sentence. >You can't just think about how to weave a basket and be a good basket weaver.

Yes, you are intelligent at a generally high level, but OP was referring to how successful execs are put on pedestals and whose opinions on all kinds of subjects well outside of their wheelhouse are often sought after.
