Most scientists know their area of expertise and know it very well, but once outside it, they are simply lost. The good ones recognize that situation and defer or couch their opinions indicating their lack of understanding. The bad ones behave like Bork, they assume because they have some expertise, that their expertise extends in all directions and is equally infallible. Anecdotal evidence is that engineers fall into the trap very easily.<br />In some respect you see this behavior in GWB, he was none too bright but thought himself to be some brilliant statesman. There was no doubt, no inquisitiveness to reveal possible contradictions to perception; no, there was simple unrestrained confidence in his conclusions.bobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176542687278791678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-87213098690657541572012-12-21T16:59:50.306-05:002012-12-21T16:59:50.306-05:00Victor,
