Absolutely right, and it's ubiquitous across organizations too.

I've never met an executive I respect. They're all absolute experts at appearing competent.

Actually checking if someone is competent requires actual work, though. Work is for lesser people. Shareholders just know if a person is or is not competent, that's why they have so much money, right?
