Not saying your advice is bad, but someone who is confident and charismatic will speak in a way that the steps he takes are obvious. For example, if I told you "I wrote this code and it's completely bug free.", you might question it with stuff like "even part X? It's generally the weak point in this kind of systems." but a really good talker will say it in a tone that makes people think that his code is really bug free.
It's something I have noticed, sometimes someone told me something in such a confident tone that I couldn't think of doubting it.

- S4M 11y agoThanks, it was this expression I was missing.
- TheBiv 11y agoGiving a n overconfident person a yes/no question like "Even part X?" Is a pretty easy way for them to discard your concern. However, "Can you walk me through the block of code that performs X?" has the highest probability of sparking an interesting discussion to ensure your concern is met.
