What I don't understand. The issue isn't whether a "Nate Silver" [insert pundit you like/don't like] opines or not. The key difference is that a few gatekeepers absolutely DO NOT control how this plays out anymore. That's the context to consider. Why aren't we focusing on that?https://twitter.com/celinegounder/status/1382299663269761024 …

The "listen to experts/science" crowd needs to see the problem: well-credentialed experts IN YOUR FIELD have confident, contradictory assertions all over the place. So it turns into "which experts" which turns into "ones I like"—not really a manageable process for ordinary folks.

Replying to @zeynep
In this case, have any of the experts spoken out against the FDA's decision? I've seen "good call" and "tough to say" but I haven't seen "bad decision." But maybe I missed stuff.

I have seen the full range (good, bad, terrible) from experts with all the credentials you want, plus an enormous range of private opinion as well (these fields tend to be quite top down in expressing dissent, as we saw all year, but they are also many outspoken ones).
