Is term expert either meaningful or useful?
I'm not convinced that the term 'expert' is either meaningful or useful in science and other investigatives fields (history, etc.) - it strikes me that there is no clear way to define an expert, and no reason to suppose that even if a person is an expert that there opinion or testimony is correct. In fact, I'd go as far as to say that the term expert is an entirely social label.
