Ah the old "I checked with an expert" canard. Much like nutrition-chronic disease studies, for every expert in nutrition, there's an equal and opposite expert. Thread on the problems of expertise, because this (there's more upthread of tweet below, so read that too) 1/:https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1203604334165909504 …
I mean, there's disagreement everywhere but my point is that in most areas of science most experts agree on most things

Also, to be clear, I never espoused the universal acceptance of a stance simply because it is promoted by experts

I'm not sure that's true. I think when you have a superficial knowledge of a field, everything seems much more agreed-upon. The deeper you dig, the more disagreement you'll find. And: we're likely to be wrong about a lot what we think we now have "right" anyway.
