Can we define as a necessary condition for charlatan as someone who gives advice but doesn’t have downside from it, with no skin in the game?
We can’t call someone a charlatan for “being wrong”, as error is part of the scientific enterprise. The Popperian criterion falsifiability, unfortunately, doesn’t work in a complex system. But skin in the game works well as self-harm would eventually keep the falsity in check.
