Visionaries look forwards, not backwards.

Hmm that is an interesting point.

Is experience of something a good and useful thing to allow you to make informed decisions on the potential future

Or does it just mean you are stuck in the past and can only undertsand rehashes of existing technologies and not champion new ones.

Isn't an Internet Visionary someone who goes blind after too long a session on Pornhub?

Usually a Class A BSer

A couple of years ago I had one trying to get me to fill a conference hall for him to speak in.
