Summary

This quote suggests that the perception of competence is subjective. Similar to how people have different opinions about truth, beauty, and the suitability of contact lenses, the judgment of someone's competence is also based on individual perspective. What one person considers as competent, another may see it differently. It highlights the idea that competence is not universally defined but rather a matter of personal interpretation and observation.
