I think the author is more saying "don't listen to experts when they are not talking about their field of expertise".
Why do you assume you know better than experts?
Yes, we dont agree the experts are experts.
"most experts have no idea what they're talking about.""I'm not convinced the experts know what they're talking about."Not sure why this author thinks they know more than the experts. Confused as to why this is upvoted.
When on expert fails, it's news. When a thousand non-experts fail, it's routine.
"Experts"? What experts?
Yeah, experts won't get everything right so let's listen to the ignorants...Pretty sure there is a phallacy that describes this line of thought. Multiple ones, probably.
I hate articles that call people experts and then build their argument on the assumption that the expert can’t be wrong
Yeah, I guess the "experts" in quotes checks out from that perspective.
"Experts" and "the media" are not the same set.
