I get your point but there is a middle ground. You can apply critical thought to the selection of authorities you can trust. You wouldn’t trust an auto mechanic to tell you if your mole was cancerous even though you do trust them with your transmission, right? We need to teach people to recognize areas of expertise a person might have and reject opinions outside that area.
Sure, but the explanation might be something like the conch spring isn’t meshing with the radial flange of the Jefferson gear. That might not make sense to you while still being the correct answer. At some point you have to admit that you don’t know enough to make an educated judgement and you just have to trust the expert.
