Nice summary, and while I agree, I also think 3 and 4 are usually good things to do. The majority of experts on subject X are more likely to guide you properly when deciding something related to X.
Yes, I agree with you that experts generally have a more accurate view of fields related to their own, although again, they can be wrong. Their statements are perhaps more reliable than those of an ordinary person, that's for sure, but we need to be cautious about what they say.
Agreed, but I worry, that this means thta people inject clorox to cure covid, and cease to vaccinate. If anything the distrust of experts seems to be too high these days.
All of these fallacies illustrate the ways in which everything is discussed or reported in the U.S ... or so it seems. I have to be really careful not to use "always" or "never," using "most" or "often" or "sometimes" instead. Those words still cause problems in understanding. I'm sure I've stepped in these mindsets quite often.
I think it's not just something that happens in the United States, it happens everywhere hahaha. Some people use them deliberately to manipulate, while others use them due to flawed reasoning. The important thing is to recognize them and be aware of them so you don't fall for them.
Haha, yes, they trust you 100% even if you don't give them any data because they assume you have the correct information. Logically, that's usually the case, but even the greatest expert can make a mistake.
