>>@toofat, I agree. “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts.” I’m gonna keep saying that until people stop trusting everything experts say inherently.<<
How sad. I can’t imagine living like that.
I’m an expert in two areas (dam good in others). In the two, I’ve not been wrong – when I’ve been asked, my answers or repairs or solutions have been spot-on. In computer security/anti-virus I was once told that I knew more about Symantec products than they did, and was called in on a conference call that involved the U.S. Nacy, GM and other large entities because they considered me an expert.
So, I guess, I rather take offense at the blanket statement on experts.
OTOH – experts in the finance industry, or anything to do with government and the economy – they are almost always wrong, and a bunch of loonies, IMO
