Would you be equally sceptical if the heading of a similar lay article referred to "computer experts"? That's also a made-up title and there's no such a degree.

- ReptileMan 8mo agoHonestly yes I would. "Any man who must say 'I am the king' is no true king" . Same for any self titled expert. Or even worse - credentialist.
- Sharlin 8mo agoBut there are no self-titled experts here?! The phrase was chosen by the author or editor at FT. Presumably because you can’t fit everything in the headline. "Experts" is an entirely standard word to use in a headline.
