It's not worthless. & I'm not sure my thread applies to anti-vaccine arguments (equal & opposite experts/science? I don't think so). I was more interested in the "Check with an expert" remark. My point : You'll get a different response depending on what expert you check with.

Will you? For every issue? What if I wanted to know the nutritional recommendations for people with stage 5 CKD? Or total parenteral nutrition?

The topic of my threas was population level dietary recommendations. No, not for every issue, which is an excellent point. There *are* issues in nutrition where little or no disagreement exists. We should acknowledge both (see "find common ground").

So then why quote-tweet me saying that I like to ask experts when I write about a subject with which I am unfamiliar? If expertise is useful, then surely we can all agree asking an expert is a good idea

And I quote tweeted you because you used the phrase, "I check with an expert" so unproblematically. That's not a slight - just explaining why it caught my eye. My point being that "expertise" is problematic, most especially in nutrition.

Is it though? Or are there several key areas where experts disagree that are big news, while the vast majority of things are quietly agreed on?

I mean, if it's only 5 disagreements then surely asking an expert about anything except those 5 things is a great idea?https://twitter.com/ahhite/status/1204166858057879558?s=20 …

Ah, but this is not just a problem in nutrition. The problems in nutrition are the ones I'm familiar with, so I study them when I'm looking at the problem of expertise. Also problems in climate science, EMF & other areas.

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

Anyway, I think we agree on most things tbh, which makes this discussion a wonderful example of the above
