Is stating "That person really knows what they're talking about" any different than "I agreed with nearly everything that person said"?
I had this one a few weeks ago. We'd brought in a process guru at work to help get us started with iterative development. When it was over, people (including me) kept saying things like, "Man, that guy really knows his stuff." One time in particular, after making this rather banal statement to my boss, I stopped and then said, "You know, that really just means that I agreed with him." Apparently he (my boss) thought that was pretty funny because I've heard him using the same line himself.
