I think though, that you don't have to be an expert to know the limit of your knowledge.

"they can appear supremely confident which makes them so much more dangerous and likely to be followed by the novice" I think this is the big issue here, that the reserved voices of reason and judgement saying things like, compare your car to other cars, do tests, look at CFD, read papers and books, we don't know the specific solution to your specific problem, essentially get shouted over by the "template is universally applicable" messages. And realistically, it is way easier to follow a template than it is to do all those things.
