> Experts vs. Imitators: How to tell the difference between real expertise and imitation

## Content

If you want the highest quality information, you have to speak to the best people. The problem is many people claim to be experts, who really aren't.

**Key Insights**:
- Imitators can't answer questions at a deeper level
- Experts can tell you all the ways they've failed
- Imitators don't know the limits of their expertise
