A quote from a philosophy professor: "And this attitude feeds, I suggest, into the false equivalence between experts and non-experts that is an increasingly pernicious feature of our public discourse."

A reliance on experts -- clearly not science, which rejects experts and expertise in favor of evidence. Even philosophers should know this.

"Science is the organized skepticism in the reliability of expert opinion." — Richard Feynman
