Once again, I am envious.

Just good fortune. I've known these folks since they were all nobodies doing grunt work. A few of them have become quite successful in the meantime. I'm just glad my job doesn't require me to certify as a rescue diver. (Although, as one of my colleagues pointed out, it doesn't preclude that.)

I do not consider that I have the ability to see more clearly, more accurately.

Right -- most of us know what we know, and know what we don't know. I can go toe-to-toe with the automation guys there about embedded, life-safe control systems. But I know enough to stay out of the darn tank.

Conspiracy theorists seem to have the tendency not to realize that there are things they don't necessarily understand.
