I’ve done the critical thinking and the conclusion that such critical thinking has lead to is that I will most likely have better outcomes if I follow the advice of people who have looked at these issues 8 hours a day for years on end than if I “do my own research” and listen to coders trying to give advice on best practices in cardiology.

You might have your limitations but that doesn't really go for everyone. Plenty of coders can do survey research in cardiology better than most cardiologists, just how it goes. Cardiologists know the heart and dealing with patients, survey research they very often don't do so well. You should realize the limitations of experts in their own fields, they are human too, and often very biased since they have to deal with the sociopolitical climate in their fields.
