I could always tell they were just trying it on. Somone who actually knows and grasps the concept can explain it in laymen's or very simple terms or analogies, if they can't then basically all they showed me was that there were as intelligent as a parrot.
I know exactly what you mean. There's a good quote by Machiavelli "a man who seeks to make a profession out of goodness finds his ruin rather than his preservation, as he is among so many who are not good". Money makes everything way too easy for everybody and turns them into whiney entitled children, like the guys you're talking about who can recite passages from a textbook but couldn't give you a different way of wording it
