Experts are human but it is their responsibility to not get bored in an important presentation regardless of the presenter. That responsibility means the fault is assigned to them and not the presenter.

I agree with your last paragraph but after any bad event you could point at the presenter and say "I didn't consume the information they were providing - therefore blame them not me"



I would still maintain that only because you're an expert you don't have superhuman abilities of controlling your attention/boredom.

You say we can't absolve the experts from responsibility here, but it appears you want to absolve the presenters of any kind of responsibility.

Why do these experts need superhuman focus abilities while the presenters needn't even have the presentation skills of 8th graders?

But in the end we should maybe change the format of conveying information completely, whoever is to blame here.
