I am not sure if this is true, there was more than one occasion where I felt like an imposter because on some level I was imposting. E.g. when as a freelancer I took jobs that felt to far out for my abilities. I still had to tell the customer that it is doable, I totally knew that I had no idea how to do it and I told them I did anyways (and I felt stressed about it).
To all fairness I managed to deliver in all of these cases, so I maybe don't fit the role of an "actual imposter" very squarely.
