[P-Marlowe]

People seem to think an uneducated opinion is as valid as one based in subject knowledge.

Sometimes an expert is worse than an ignoramus.

In regard to AGW the experts in the subject literally know less than the guy who picks up your garbage every Tuesday.

[Moseley]

Someone who has subject matter knowledge knows enough NOT TO HAVE AN OPINION.

Socrates said that he was the wisest man alive (as the Oracle at Delphi proclaimed him) ONLY in the sense that Socrates knew how much he did not know.

The person who knows little thinks he knows a lot.

The person who knows more realizes how little he really knows.

A scientific “opinion” is a contradiction in terms.

“Sometimes an expert is worse than an ignoramus.”

Perhaps more than sometimes. Often is more like it.

Yet I don’t freedumb2003 is an expert.

There’s a line about a little bit of knowledge.

Freedumb2003, you are too defensive and lose your objectivity.

Or you simply are a liberal.

>>Sometimes an expert is worse than an ignoramus.<<

That is an argument?

You would go to your garbage man for a brain operation? Since an ignoramus is better than an expert.

And need I repeat the old saw about a lawyer who represents himself?

I have made it clear that AGW meets no Scientific Theory criteria (note they have never held themselves to that standard).

It is in no way like TToE.

Or do you think physics, chemistry, cosmology and The Theory of Gravity (which doesn’t even come CLOSE to the level of TToE) are also OK with ignoramus’ at the helm?
