I think the example given in this is ridiculous. How about someone who is instead not a criminal, but actually has zero evidence of their efficacy in a job or is constantly told otherwise, by means of losing their job or failing to get them, but does feel capable at performing some of the core duties. There is zero to think about after reading it, because apparently if I'm not deliberately trying to steal from my company, then I'm brilliant.

I ask myself this question constantly, because I haven't landed a job in over a year, but I rarely compare myself to others because I don't really believe in it.
