Credibility vs. Ability


A teenager’s judgment is outweighed by that of a person with whiter hair.

Yet not every old person is wise, and not every wise person is old.

The teachings of a teacher outweighs those of a learner.

Yet not every teacher knows everything that every learner learned.

An affluent financial advisor’s advice outweighs that of a broke advisor.

Yet not every affluent advisor’s advise will yield profits.

(Likewise, with the very same effect that perception has on a perceiver, a fit fitness instructor’s instructions outweigh instructions by an overweight fitness instructor.)
