Thursday, May 8, 2008 - My Humble Opinion

My humble opinion is that I am sick of experts.

 

So, in their honor, some quotations:

 

An expert is a person who avoids small error as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy. ~ Benjamin Stolberg

 

Where facts are few, experts are many. ~ Donald R Gannon

 

An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field. ~  Niels Bohr

 

Don’t be buffaloed by experts and elites. Experts often possess more data than judgment. Elites can become so inbred that they produce haemophiliacs who bleed to death as soon as they are nicked by the real world. ~ Colin Powell

 

There are as many opinions as there are experts. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

 

Always listen to experts. They’ll tell you what can’t be done and why. Then do it. ~ Robert Heinlein

 

Add a banana!

Why are you sick of experts? (it's one reason I don't watch news.)

Pappy always said, "What is an Ex? -- it's a has-been. (ex-boyfriend, ex-wife, that sort of thing.)

What's a "spurt"?? it's a drip of water - like when you put your thumb over a hose nozzle to make pressure to spray the water...

SO: an Expert is a has-been drip under pressure.

*lol*

My dad used to say, "You know what an expert is, don't you? An "ex" is a has been, and a "spirt" is a drip under pressure."

Hmmmm. Still doesn't come off quite right 25 years later. . .
