They want someone else to give them direction and guidance even though that particular someone else has not demonstrated that he can traverse the geography, apart from just talking about it at considerable length. And they will justify their investment of time and money in such a person by claiming to have tangentially benefited in at least some small, indirect way. And that's great, especially for the guides. Because there is no lack of such tour guides who couldn't find their own hindquarters with a mirror at the end of a stick. Everyone is a winner.
