Yeah, don't know that I agree. What is an "expert" anyway? What determines who gets classed as such? It's largely a social and political category, a status that is very often awarded as a consequence of social, political, and economic factors, so it usually _is_ indoctrination and elitism. Information and education is something that gets distributed on the basis of power and wealth.

How about the "experts" who signed off on inflammable cladding on buildings?

Or the ones who labelled junk mortgages as 'triple-A' rated?

Or the ones who declared in court that the Post Office's Horizon cash system was infallible?

The ones who declared that Iraq had WMDs?

Or the ones who downplayed masks and emphasised hand-washing at the start of the pandemic?

The list goes on...
The military has a term: trust but verify.

Amber, probably Baltic.
in general, it's nearly as common as clam shells on those shores, but chunks like that are way way rarer than a diamond. I think they are only found at the deposits, or only after some rare, particularly severe storms that can knock a few of them up onto those shores.

EDIT: Holy shit! not only does it have that flawless impression, but he's actually showing you the dessicated carcass of the buggo knocking around the actual impression that it made. Shit that is fucking awesome. I didn't notice that at first!
