Epistemic trespassing is always interesting, definitely has the good, the bad and the ugly. Every field attempts to police it. Ranges from licensing to public outrage. As usual, a lot defends on specifics. One can find examples to all: the good, the bad and the ugly versions.

Usually it's never a one-way street. I've been frustrated by (some) in the medical community making fairly baseless assumptions about how most people would behave, and also, interestingly, they don't even accept they're making assumptions. Signature epistemological power move.

There seems to be a big void between the niche and often inaccessible journal realm, and public-facing sci-comm (including intra- and extra-field Twitter dunking). So many discussions would be improved by a common, living site w/ tiered intro to major questions in diff. fields.

For better or worse, the field of cryptography has it's saying "don't roll your own crypto", as in don't try to create your own encryption system, just use what has been designed by experts. It's a fine line between discouraging dangerous behavior vs discouraging learning.
