Personal
Picking an expert, to me, is a short cut.
​
When an individual has demonstrated a good track record it might save time and effort in less crucial cases to trust them on other issues. When you pick someone, what you pick on and who you pick is a personal matter and will vary with the area of study.
​
In any case, if it is important or controversial, the evidence trumps the expert and you would make the effort to dig deeper in cases of consequence.
