What subject do you consider yourself an authority on?

Another podcast I listen to has released a book: Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know by Ben Bowlin with Matt Frederick and Noel Brown.  These three lads shorten the name of their mouthful of a podcast to STDWYTK.  They even acquired the toll-free phone number: 1-833-STDWYTK.  Brand immersion!  You may have guessed from the title that the book and pod both focus on conspiracy theories.  Close.  Conspiracy realism.  A subtle but important difference.  Rather than delve into anything contained in the book itself, I want to focus on the conspiracy right there at the bottom of the hardcover: Ben Bowlin with Matt Frederick and Noel Brown.  When with or and are used in the opening title of a movie, it’s generally to reference big-name actors portraying smaller roles. Since I’ve listened to over 500 episodes of STDWYTK, I consider myself an authoritative figure when saying Ben is the big-name writer of the trio.  Thus, I’m not buying this front cover conspiracy theory functioning solely to get author credit for all three.  The conspiracy realism is Ben and Noel probably skimmed the finished manuscript, perhaps recommending there should be more pictures.
