Can you point us to some authoritative research proving that the personal experience of smart individuals is neither interesting nor valuable?

- heyitsnick 16y agoFirstly, this is an appeal to authority[1]. Just because someone is 'smart' doesn't mean tehy are any better it advising someone in an area where their speciality doesn't lie. A successful business-man discussing correct bedding choice or dietary recommendations. Secondly, you are shifting the burden of proof. Thirdly, I didn't say it wasn't interesting; if you read my comment I explicitly said large parts of the post were interesting and valuable.
