While the conscious mind may not notice these, together, they present an image that the subconscious mind understands perfectly - this is a professional. Same type of cues hold true in any hobby or endeavour.

What? maybe sometimes, when it actually is an expert, but usually it's just someone who is trying to compensate by getting all the gear.
Maybe we just notice them because our attention is drawn to the guy with all the gizmos, So when they are good we admire them, but when they suck we all laugh. Mostly though, I end up laughing.
