Another article making the rounds complaining about pandemic "epistemic trespassing", unironically quoting a medical expert who has adamantly & baselessly claimed masks would induce false sense of security—to great harm. For "trust the experts" to work, experts need to deliver.

We're nine months into this, and the WHO guidance on masks has errors (they have refused to correct), it took months of pushing and into October for them to finally add some ventilation advice to the public, the CDC was pushed, too and "false sense of security" refuses to die.

It's true! Epistemic trespassing can be terribly dangerous—especially paired with overconfidence or ideology. But the expert community should realize what's opening the floodgates is partly their failure. We *want to* trust the experts Fix that, instead of circling the wagons.
