I know some in Tech Support that practice this regularly: When they are told by the person needing support that they (the caller) are at a certain level of experience, they (the techs) assume the caller is actually a notch or two lower on the pole.

The only sort of people that they assume to be at a certain level of knowledge are those that (generally) don't brag about it.
I expect other facets of life are the same way
