This rant is from the multiple political ideologies that live inside my head. They need a place to come out and play. (In a politically offensive way) Entry into this space is not advised!

When confronted with a problem you have several choices:
Consult an expert and accept his decision.
Become an expert an make your own decision
Become a partial expert and judge the validity of the expert's decision.

All three choices have problems.
Consult an expert and accept his decision: blind acceptance of authority

Become an expert an make your own decision: It takes enormous amount of time in book learning, but that book learning is valueless without field experience.

Become a partial expert and judge the validity of the expert's decision: You know just enough to make bad assumptions. (Just have an intern look over your shoulder for a week to fully experience this option. Remember to hide his body afterward)
