REASONING WITH EXPERTS
People often believe an expert's opinion just because they are an authority. But sometimes experts don't agree and they have opposites opinions. So on one knows who's right. If you know about the field in question you can read both opinions and get your own conclusion.
People tend to pick an expert based on the fact that seh agrees with you alredy believed. This is a fallacious reasoning. They also use reasoning of wishful thinking. Other prejuice that people should avoid is judding factors like height, appearance, gender, age personality, religion, etc.
Some factors people have to see when they believe an expert are:
-the person has enough experience in the subject.
-the claim being made by the person is within her area of expertise.
My personal opinion about this is that this is really interesting and the advices are good and useful. From now, all of us shpult try to follow all of them and leave our prejuices. I'm gonna use my capacity of reasoning in the better way posible, look for information and other experts opinion when I have to give my opinion and arguments at something.
