I thank you for your comment bringing the Dunning-Kruger effect to my notice. I have a sort of hobby learning about such morbidities that usually afflict science bosses.
My boss (in the research lab where I worked) was one step higher. He was (nominally) a nuclear physicist, but, by virtue of being boss, he knew everything. In his own words, he needed just five minutes to understand everything about a Nobel-prize winning work in biochemistry. he was also a science philosopher, expert on Hindu scriptures and mythology, folklore, ethics, art, music, history, etc.
The "Boss Knows Everything" syndrome pervades every sphere of human activity here. Making a big jump right to the top of the hierarchy, the late Morarji Desai, one time Prime Minister used give his expert advice on a variety of subjects, like health, medicine, nutrition, and how to shave oneself without using soap or lather.
Sorry, but I decided over breakfast to become a brain surgeon. I plan to spend a whole day learning about it. Would you like to be my first patient. (After all, in your case, what harm could it do?)
