[bamboozled]

Parent here, I absolutely never said you should blindly trust an expert at all. What I am saying is that it would pay heavily to pay attention to an experts opinion in their particular field of expertise. It's that simple.

I think we're saying the same thing I just think you're tone is more aggressive so it comes across overly hostile towards the idea of an expert.

I'd be that most expert know that they have narrow specialist information in their field and don't expect it to solve all problems in a general sense, you're just making that claim for them?

I've even seen Geoffrey Hinton say things like, "I don't know what to do about blah, I'm not a ...", so this man is aware of his limits too.
