That implies that, at least in those instances, researchers are not like regular people, as their thoughts are shaped by the scientific method and the biases affecting laypeople don&rsquo;t apply to them. Since they are experts in deep domains that cannot be effortlessly weighed, their advice must be followed. I think it&rsquo;s important for a regular citizen to understand whether those assertions are self-evident or whether scientific opinions must still be questioned, as they are more and more impacting our daily lives.</p>
