I don't really feel this is correcting anything. There is nothing misleading about it since it's still the same point! Gove adding on some vague qualification at the end does not change the intention.
Experts almost invariably fit that qualification so it's superfluous and handwavy. If he had mentioned some specifics then it would have a different intention and I and others would leave that extraneous rambling nonsense on the quote.
Indeed it's an even more shameful quote with that bit.
- Smaug123 5y agoI think your point assumes that all experts are always wrong, which is a point on which we disagree. Many people call themselves experts and are often wrong - though I would call such people "pundits" rather than "experts" - and it's those people we've had enough of.
