A little knowledge

I get so irritated when someone assumes that they’re an expert on something just because they have some training in it. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing. So unless you’re a bonafide expert please don’t assume that you know more than they do.

Bona fide, fide means faith. What is the expert definition of faith? Bona means good. Which expert defines good?

Think for yourself
Question experts

But it’s very important that I explain slow brew coffee and existentialism to you in excruciating detail.

So you're the only expert in your craft? Isn't that more ego and stubbornness than expertise. As though your approach is the only worth considering. I would have thought wisdom was gained from expertise but it doesn't much sound like it when you're unwilling to hear other opinions if they don't line up with your pedantic short-sightedness.

I think an expert is a scientist.

No, I’m not an expert in anything but being me. I have a few skills I’ve acquired over a long life, and I guess there’s been times in previous careers where I was considered to be an expert, but I’m also very aware of how much I don’t know. It’s when people assume that because they’ve had some training in a specific area it makes them qualified to dictate what everyone else should do, even though they may not have all (or even most) of the facts or the experience in the situation. I know I’m being cryptic but I can’t really explain the details in a public forum.

Many times experts disagree with eachother, and many times experts agree with amateurs. Being an expert doesn't make you a saint. There are plenty of experts that will lie for a price. Trust me, I'm not only an expert on this but I'm also a saint as well.

I took a boxing class once and now I am an expert in combat even though I weigh 300 lbs and get out of breath walking to the fridge.
