The first warning sign of Charlatanism - the practioner's
claim that his method is too complex or "artistic" to be
objectively analyzed using the scientific method.

My point is, that for all that Warren Buffett has written and for all the books that claim to teach you how to invest like him, no one has been able to match him at his game. Whatever he's done right is just not fully reduceable to a limited set of rules. Now, it is certainly possible to infer rules from what he does, but they aren't the whole story--they won't make you him.

And as far as investing goes, the proof is in the pudding. If you beat the market consistently (and legally), you are not a Charlatan. If you don't, you are. It has nothing to do with ancillary claims you make or that are made about you.
