We agree.
1) I can fix my car, but I prefer my mechanic do it. I don't give my doctor my best diagnostic guess, and I don't do my own labwork.
2) When someone says they have been to Ireland and it's beautiful, I don't second guess them.
3) Any second rate zoologist is likely to more know about zoology, taxonomy and evolution than I do and I figure it is best to take people at their word until they demonstrate otherwise.
1) Agreed again on some points. If the mechanic is deemed as "my" mechanic, then obviously that sense of familiarity which caused me to take him on as mine was done so out of some former dealing with him, or even a high recomendation from someone I know and trust.
2) But you may second guess someone if they say something counter to what you know to be most probable.
3) If in fact they are a zoologist. If in fact they are not of ill repute. If in fact they are 2nd rate -- who is to say they aren`t 3rd or 4th rate. Would you accept the opinion of a first rate translator of Biblical languages when they say it could not be the word of God even though you are not a biblical translator?
Again, my point here is that, on a forum such as this, the argument should carry itself and the laurals of a person should not have to be mentioned if in fact the reason and data are sound which is being offered.
