I still don't see a single qualification. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 04/10/2011 08:18:40 PM
Is he a chemist? biologist? doctor?

It's less a personal attack on him. He might be very good at researching his subject material, and his reputation that I can find on wiki and such seems to suggest such...

but He's DEFINITELY not an "Expert opinion", and the way you referred to him initially led me to the impression you felt he was.

It's just a personal thing. I'm kind of fed up with people ignoring experts for decision making, and it's irritating to me when people act like they know wtf they're talking about. I saw a question/answer site about various points of animal medicine, and the columnist was not a veterinarian and, in fact, didn't have any reference about her credentials beyond "PhD" (which could be anything). It's just something that irritates me.
