Most of the topics discussed in the Open fall into the type of field in which claimed expertise is of very little value...in some cases, of negative value.
...in the end, Expertise is dependent on "Performance"...as judged by peers.

Just because you have the ability to learn something doesn't necessarily translate into knowing how to use your knowledge. That's a different skill altogether.
Chris rips on me because he thinks people who are academically credentialed in the field (except for Dr. Risch) are the only ones qualified to weigh in on matters in that field. Yet, there are countless examples of ordinary people knowing better about aspects of that subject than do the "experts."

The central question being "Are you ideologically possessed." At least one potential answer to why "experts" get things wrong.
