On: Everybody is faking it.

[Retric]

Saying you can do X when all it takes is a few days to get up to speed is not the same as a direct lie. A lie would be I can do X because I have been doing X for 10 years aka faking credentials. The are several times where I helped someone fix their code where I had no idea what language they where using. I never said I knew the language just "I think I can help" and more often than not I did.

Yes, I think that's pretty much what I said, although I think I phrased it badly.

I meant to say that most consultants bullshit, rather than lie. Thanks for the correction.
