“You can trust us bro, the earth is flat. We have an entire church system with thousands of scholars and you’re saying they’re wrong?!?” Hmmmmmmm

  Nobody's asking you to trust anything; you can just take some few minutes to read. It's not my responsibility to show you how to Google; you're just being willfully ignorant.

    https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-tasting-junk-science-analysis https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/jun/23/wine-ta... All of the peer reviewed articles linked suggest that "wine tasting experts" can't differentiate or produce any sort of reliable results, or detect flavors consistently.

      Except that's not what the article says, and it explicitly notes some of the scientifically identified chemicals involved in producing certain flavors. "Scores aren't meaningful, past a certain baseline" seems pretty well supported. "Context plays a statistically discernable role in our perception of taste" seems pretty well supported. "Wine experts can't tell any wine from any other" is nonsense and while that's an exaggeration it does seem like you're treading closer to that position than can be supported.
