Very interesting points...

The disconnect between the expectations and reality. Well, to some degree you will always have it, but that is a very interesting facet, and I concur that it is somewhat increasing. It has in the recent past, and it still is..

> And it is not limited to media or CEO's, but it made its way into top researchers.

Interesting. One would assume that top researchers would be more "immune" than anyone else, but if it's true what you say and it already made its way.. For the record, I think you are onto something here.

What would be your favorite pet theory that explains this phenomenon? Do you believe it has something to do with this culture of "fake it till you make it", as if we have forgotten the value of honesty?
