Expert advice is counter productive - witness yesterday we are told too much alcohol increases the risk of strokes, heart attacks, etc and on the same day another study finds that eating chocolate decreases those same risks!WitteringsfromWitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16026875251366365154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-5052052054845137442011-08-29T12:02:27.908-07:002011-08-29T12:02:27.908-07:00"Expertitis" what an excellent word and ..."Expertitis" what an excellent word and so accurate.<br /><br />The social democratic principle is that government can provide a solution to every problem, which morphs into 'government <i><b>must</b></i> provide a solution for every problem, real or imagined'.<br /><br />I have commented before on my experience that 'experts' educated post 1970 were generally not 'expert' in that they had no real depth of knowledge in their subject, no doubt connected to the point I made in another thread that since the 1970s one can pass exams at the highest grade purely on rote learning and with no actual understanding of the subject. I have also noticed that most miscarriages of justice today occur because the 'expert' witnesses turned out to be not so expert, in fact plain wrong.<br /><br />Even worse, of course, is for the most part we pay for these 'experts' to lecture us about the bleeding obvious and produce puerile and fatuous guidelines and regulation that is irrelevant for 99.999999% of the population.<br /><br />It would be far better for us, in every way, if the government and parliament took a five year sabbatical, unpaid, of course.PeterCharlesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-61842668838817630922011-08-29T10:39:57.026-07:002011-08-29T10:39:57.026-07:00correction : 'so probably OLDER than..' so...correction : 'so probably OLDER than..' sorry for any negative aspertions.john in cheshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179825507377423624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8861279106331108648.post-78950329833808939812011-08-29T10:37:58.701-07:002011-08-29T10:37:58.701-07:00Thank you for the linky, I owe you a drinky :-)
