There is some of that. There are also very valid projects out there. I am running under the assumption that people can tell the difference.

Frankly, most of the sketchy folk that I ran into during my projects were the investors, not the engineers.

I've seen a couple of both, but for the most part the engineers when they are wrong are deluding themselves as well, the investors that are sketchy seem to be more cynical and aware of what they are doing.
