They don’t know how, feel inferior because they don’t know how, and basically get talked into situations they cannot defend against ...

This rings so true to me!

It’s a shame to see clever people get lost in the minutiae. There are good managers out there who can spot these problems and help out. But they're few and far between. So without good management nor the ability to communicate for themselves you get eye-watering levels of wasted effort.
