I assume that is directed at my comment but not certain. The point I am making is that even after eliminating “the person just tells you what’s popular to say and what you want to hear.” you still have the problem of some of the remainder will be experts than understand the subtleties and details as they apply to your specific needs from those that don’t.
The heuristic about how they present their sales pitch are ” leaky filters” as the OP notes and I’m not entirely sure we understand how far they actually move the probabilities for actually getting the expert rather than the mediocre ( knows all the theory and terms and even has a good idea of how they all relate but just does not actually get the system as a whole or perhaps is just to lazy to do the work).
For those pushing these specific heuristics, is there any actual data we can look at to see how effective they are?
