This is especially true with musicians. I am self-taught and can read music very slowly, but mainly focus on writing original pieces. When I have played with classically trained musicians, they just stare at me and wait for me to tell them what to do: they cannot improvise.
When we were kids, we tried to disguise our crappy bikes as expensive bikes with confusing stickers so the actual name brand of the bike wasn't clear. Maybe this mac-in-a-beige-box project is the inverse; it would be refreshing to see my G4 powerbook wrapped in gray or black plastic. It would probably prevent theft.
