I’m not really an expert; I just play one in real life. Maybe.

September 16, 2009 By Joel Rosenberg Leave a Comment

There's been an interesting discussion of manufactured apparent expertise over at SJ, which appears to have inspired Bennett to weigh in here.  The spark for the discussion was one of the many blogs that not-quite-promises to generate huge wads of cash for lawyers by gaming social media and them what loves it: The thought of becoming an "expert" in 6 months may seem … [Read more...] about I’m not really an expert; I just play one in real life.

Nah. Updating doesn't go quite far enough; I really should eat a little more crow. But just a little. Let's try that again -- and I'm going to leave the original up, for historical purposes. Bloggers -- well, ones who care to do it right -- don't throw errors down the memory hole. Hence, Version 1.1. Let's start off by reviewing the key paragraph in our last episode: On April … [Read more...] about The Smoking Gun, Part II: When the Going Gets Weird, the Weird Get Put on Patrol, Version 1.1
