We want people who are good at independent evaluation to do so, but we want the people who are bad at it to defer to smarter.Thus need tests

So someone makes a dumb claim (using smart language) and someone else makes a smart claim, and neither the dumb nor others can tell truth.

More reliance on testing is the best answer, but unfortunately our society is actually moving away from testing toward more abused measures

@HbdNrx yup. most people aren't smart. =/ (p.s. - if you keep retweeting coates, i'm gonna have to block you! (~_^) ) -
@hbdchick sorry about that :) How our society should deal with this situation of people thinking they know more than they do is tricky -
@HbdNrx it is tricky, because at some point (some iq cutoff), people don't know that they don't know. =/ -
@hbdchick also IQ is a good start but I find that even many smart people get caught up in some really dumb things (see postmodernism) -
