"take the misguided ramblings of a junior-sold-as-senior at face value, not knowing the difference"

Based on my experiences, I'm throughly convinced that most of the time the consultants will tell management what they want to hear. If management doesn't like the answer then they go to someone else. How likely it is that they will accept an unwanted opinion from a consultant is solely based on prestige.

One thing are presentations, other thing is actuall stuff build by 'juniors sold as seniors'.

Read all the horror stories of shitty software or ERP implementations. Often it is the consultant's fault - since they are technically weak.
