Horror Stories For Programmers - Beware The Bogus Experts

The bogus expert is generally an expert in trivia. They know syntax, but have no idea how to use it appropriately. They're always closed-minded individuals who will refuse any idea unless it's their own or they can make it appear to be their own. The most important thing to a bogus expert is their illusion of superiority. They don't care about consequences and so you can normally identify one after the fact by the mess they leave.
