No, foreveryoung, that should read:
quote:
Although a PhD in a specific field certainly does know more about his field than scientists from other fields, most competent scientists from a wide range of fields can offer very valid objections if they have done sufficient research on the subject and if they can demonstrate their objections.
Having certain analytical skills and a certain amount of intuition comes with being a competent scientist in my opinion. Now, if you get a relatively small percentage of competent scientists from a variety of fields outside of the subject in question that object to the conclusions of the bulk of the experts in the subject, without demonstrating their objections, I feel their objections don't have merit. The subject of global warming comes to mind.
