I guess a person sounding as if he knows what he is talking about is a good indicator that he actually knows what he is talking about.

- andreyf 17y agoIt certainly depends on who's listening. The catch-22 is the Dunning and Kruger effect. If a person sounds like they know what they're talking about, it's either because (1) they know what they're talking about or (2) you're an idiot. But there's a range of ignorance in which the more confident you are in (1), the more likely (2) is.
