Overall though, I think the point is here about the instruction and how somehow there's this idea that a ski instructor (?) has some unquestionable higher knowledge which mere mortals cannot ever begin to understand. And they will impart small amounts of this to you for large amounts of cash while you are on holiday.
i agree but it's not all ski instructors, only some and it's not surprising it's more common than with other skiers. There's any number of non-instructors who talk total nonsense though in an attempt to sound a bit technical, in fact they're worse in many way, they've got no excuse and the only possible effect is to exclude people.
