People who want to pretend they were involved in the project.
He says he was involved in Project P.
But the leader of Project P said, "What? Who was that?" He says.
These people are not uncommon.

To identify if the project leader was forgetting and terrible or if that person was embellishing the story, I asked him how he got involved in the project and then asked him some technical questions.
He was slurred, so I decided he was probably bluffing.
The people who actually implement it don't get flustered because they've been there themselves.
You talk as if you've experienced what you haven't experienced, and it's fluff.
I just participated, but I wasn't deeply involved.
There is a difference in the time cost paid for simply "participating" and "being deeply involved".
It is good to "participate first" because without "participation" you cannot make a decision on whether or not you will be "deeply involved" in the future. But it is harmful for someone who "just participated" to act like someone who is "deeply involved".
If you leave these types of people alone, they will think "stolen fruit is good" and stay forever to gain legitimacy through continuity, so it's tricky. Should be a quick kick.
