Not to excuse it, but I think it's not unusual for people in many professions eventually to get a bit of Dunning-Kruger syndrome and as a result of overconfidence, maybe cut corners or not be as diligent as they should be, or even get out over their skis in terms of taking on tasks they probably aren't qualified for.
