Also don't forget that most people paid to be experts in anything, are anything but experts.
I could list just about any high paying position in this country (or world) that is supposed to denote being an expert, and the people are as clueless as Forrest Gump.
In other words, there really are few experts. Being paid or having a job doesn't mean you are one. It just means if someone figures it out, you're out of a job...or promoted.
From my experience, most experts are rookies in all that really matters.
While this does nothing to raise up the 'internet yahoos', it surely should lower the 'experts'. In other words, the difference between experts and yahoos seems to be a degree or a job title. Neither of which prove you are an expert, just you regurgitated sophistry and/or talked your way into a job.
Many of the poorest and dumbest decisions that are made, are wrongly made by 'experts'. Real asinine things that anyone with a half a brain would know not to do, the 'experts' do because they are clueless. Our schools/colleges teach clueless, our corporations teach/reward clueless, and what do you know there are a lot of clueless people running around saying they are experts.
If someone is an 'expert', watch them like a hawk. Usually they were anointed to be one wrongly, and stopped bettering their craft.
