Of course the problem is, not being technical you are always prone to the 'Warren Harding' error. [0] You know, someone who dresses badly, uses a mac notebook, talks real fast about technical things that has all the attributes of the hacker except they are crap at building product.

Reference

[0] Warren Harding was 29th President of the United States and had the distinction of being pushed forward because he had the perceived traits of a leader and turned out not to be so good. I picked this up reading the Malcom Gladwell book 'Blink', 0-7139-9844-X.
