We all gained.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe

We all gained.

If we have you back, we'll give you another crack at it, maybe.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I'm always happy to have other people do my work for me.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Absolutely.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Bravo.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I do like that quote, but I disagree with it.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I knew you were going to push back on that.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

There's a nuance to this.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

So the just as dumb is I would push back on because experts in one field –

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

do have some general knowledge about like logic and scholarship and evidence and stuff.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yeah, and they should understand the gulf between what they know as an expert on a specific topic and the general public, and hopefully they apply that across the board.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

I encourage people to do that, to realize that they are as ignorant in other areas as they think everybody else is in the area that they actually are an expert in.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

So being an expert in something I think does give you some general intellectual skills that people who are an expert in nothing do not have.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Is that fair?

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Yes.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Of course.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

The core of it I agree with.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

Absolutely.

The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe
The Skeptics Guide #1087 - May 9 2026

But I just wanted to throw that nuance in there.
