To be fair, experts in a field that's whole existence is being criticized (e.g. saying modeling isn't accurate/whatever) shouldn't be given more weight in that regard. Consider how many 'experts' there are in numerology. Should we restrict a person from speaking out against them because he/she isn't an expert?
