I've always wondered what type of person it takes to create a presentation like that. Do they actually believe in the things they are putting on the slides, or do they know this is all BS but they're willing to do such soulless work for whatever they're getting paid to do so?

I once heard a salesguy say the following statement: "One of our customers accused me of selling them shit. But all we have is shit, so what do you expect?"

There's usually entire teams involved in preparing these sorts of decks - from content researchers via subject matter experts to designers. So not a single person needs to believe in it all at once.

I think a far better question is: Does whoever is paying for these decks to be prepared believe in them? These decks aren't (always) built for internal use.

Some of these are real howlers.
