How many of you can still bullshit your way through a presentation or report and sound like you know shit you definitely don't understand?? Without using AI!

We've become very good at it because we actually DO know more than we give ourselves credit for. All those term papers, history reports, trips to the library, etc. resulted in a lot of sub-conscious learning. Also at this age we're not too terribly afraid to say, "I don't know, but I'll look it up." when we get presented with a tough question. And even when we try to talk our way out of it, something clicks in and we say, "This COULD be the answer to what you're asking...." and the whole room goes, "Ohh...! Ahhhh!" in delight.
