In my experience, the devs that talk the most, know the least about how things actually work. They churn off trying to explain something and are either subtly or blatantly wrong, and you've got to reel them in before they get down the rabbit hole and misrepresent reality too badly. It can be catastrophic if they are interfacing with management or customers.

It seems to be a manifestation of the classic "baffle them with bullshit" strategy for dealing with ignorance or incompetence.
