Oe of my colleagues is a (now-former) part-time police officer. I know he's not superhuman! (Not even partly.)
I wonder if there's a name for the fallacy of assuming someone else is 100% competent. It must be pretty common. Well, I assume so, because I frequently suffer fall for it if I don't stop to think, and I'm not so egotistical as to maintain that even my mistakes are unique!
