Face Value



Looks the Part + Acts the Part + Superficial Credentials.

What do those equal? 

In many cases they equal the ability to convince a lot of people that the person is as things seem and that serious substance is present.

How often have you explored the writings and speeches of a reputed "deep thinker" only to discover an empty suit?

Remember Tacitus's scathing description of Galba: "No one would have doubted his ability to reign had he never been emperor."
