They've been rewarded for how smart they are their entire lives, so they think they can understand things completely by reading a few paragraphs about it. Even worse if they have one life experience that somehow totally justifies their view of an entire field that varies _dramatically_ from provider to provider.
It is the same reason every software person living around SF thinks they are economic geniuses because they got rich by being lucky.

Spend a few days observing a large trauma ICU and they will rethink their story about motorcycles. People have no fucking idea.
