I'd rather have "people wracked with doubt and who fear their own ignorance" :)

  Ah, so you don't believe in experts, eh? Not even ones apparently expert on every subject?

    As a non-testimonial litigation consultant, I used to joke that I could pose as an expert in anything, given a couple months. But in truth, one of my favorite deposition answers goes something like this: > I'm not prepared to offer an opinion on that question.

      My joking aside, the tragedy is only the truely expert are willing to make this answer.

        Right. But actually, "prepared" is often literally the case. Before critical depositions, experts spend a day or two, with attorneys and consultants, practicing replies. And experts are very cautious about answering unexpected questions.
