Don't stop. Hit me with the incredulity at a whole field of study. It's all a fraud! The emperor has no clothes!

What do you say to those of us VERY familiar with the field & who've taught in similar fields who think it is indeed riddled with nonsense?

I'd inquire as to whether your views are representative or fringe, as I would in any field.

Why should that matter? The more important thing is whether my views are right. I've written abt this here:http://tinyurl.com/yaz6fjj8

Scientific consensus is composed of fear, popularity, and relative ignorance. It is much like a major market index in that respect.

If I'm not an expert and purported experts aren't to be trusted, then perhaps we should refrain from belief rather than dismiss whole field?

I would agree. I don't want to dismiss the field. I'd like to reform it & keep the valuable parts.
