Personally I would say if you use the word expert, it should be an actual expert in the relevant field. Anything else blows straight past 'weasel words' and straight to misleading.

Plus in the article, they list a load of non absolute statements, (which as I tried to illustrate in my prior comment, pop-up a lot in normal conversation).

You couldn't have a 'normal' conversation without using 'weasel words'.

I feel its missing the wood for the trees to focus on examples divorced of context, when its the context that matters, not the actual words.

Nice article btw. Installing Vista now.
