Comment by intuitionist

As basketball analysts like to say, you can’t teach height.

You can teach the appearance, use, and effect of height.

It's dumb that people are picking on that word out of the overall comment like it was some kind of mistake. The comment was about the nature of the appearance of competence, and height is one element that has an effect on how people perceive another person, and there are countless teachable things about that.
