Consultants and other useless knowledge workers have found it easier to create presentations instead of impact. Due to their profound insecurity about the (in)significance of their work and their own intelligence in general, they compensate by creating ever increasing numbers of powerpoint slides. In the process they become blind to the meaning and content of individual slides, they go "slideblind". Slideblindness is often terminal (for a given day).

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
