Is it possible for non-experts to verify science in most fields? It's possible and important for other experts to verify, but research is very hard to contextualize and verify without being or becoming an expert.
- marcosdumay 6y ago> Is it possible for non-experts to verify science in most fields? If they don't know a thing about statistics and science methodology, no it's not. If they do know those, settled research with real impact is not that hard to verify (that's why it's settled), verifying science without impact is not important, and unsettled science shouldn't get a lot of trust anyway. That would be a good subject for an article with that same title. But for the current article, the question is not really relevant.
