According to Osho, the pundit can be called a Taoist only in belief, not a man of Tao. His words are clever, even beautiful, but borrowed, like a blind man describing light. He delights the intellect yet carries no nourishment or creative power, so he's not on the way to the ocean; he's in tune with you, not with Tao.
He talks beautifully about Tao but hasn’t lived it, so he’s not truly on the path.
