Who are the "real experts"?

In every domain where decision-makers need the specialised knowledge of experts, those who don’t have the relevant knowledge, whether they realise it or not will compete with actual experts for money and attention.
There are two types of experts in the world: real experts, and fake ones.

The real experts are the people who spend many years refining their knowledge and skill set in a particular area and become masters of pattern recognition. But all too often, they end up toiling away in relative obscurity and poverty, neither maximizing their opportunity for impact nor earning the money they deserve.

Real experts deserve so much more, and they could make so much more of a difference in the world if they could just figure out how to be heard above the clamor of.

Your inbox is probably full of fake experts and their garbage. They are people like the speaker I heard at a conference who claimed that all you had to do to be an expert was raise your hand. That’s not expertise.

Both of these groups share one problem: They misunderstand the business of expertise. One group undervalues real knowledge; the other group overvalues fake knowledge. Competence and knowledge are correlated, and so admitting uncertainty will make an expert look less competent even if he is qualified but facing a question genuinely at or beyond the borders of the knowledge in the field.

What can we do about this "real" experts than?

Thank you all, Mario.
