I think this is more about knowing what one knows than it is about GDP calculations. I think of it sort of like skilled people who misuse (their) “there” and “they’re”. They’re still good at what they do, but if they tell you they’re going to write a book on English language, you might want to flip through it at the bookstore before you buy it.
