My opinion about 'Imposter Syndrome' is that it is a 'rite of passage'.

As a person develops and moves up the scale he reaches the level of 'expert'. However, the 'new expert' doesn't have the wealth of knowledge and/or experience that an 'old expert' has. That makes them feel unworthy of their position. As the 'new expert' gains more and more knowledge and experience, that 'Imposter Syndrome' will fade away.

I would estimate that 99.999% of us have experienced 'Imposter Syndome' at some point in our lives.

Also, the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know. It takes a lot of experience to realize how much of an idiot you really are.
