Ocean City - In our ever more complex society,have we run the risk of becoming overly dependent on the so called"Experts"-delegating decisions and responsibilities to them that are outside their domain?The danger is quite simply this:Experts are human.Politicians use their own experts opinions to advance political aims.There is an aphorism that if you put a cup of soup in a bowl of garbage,its garbage.And if you put a cup of garbage in a bowl of soup,its garbage.Employing experts is a key tactic to asserting authority and infantilizing the public.To be "guided by the science"should never blind us to truth.
