content: The position of "expert" compels people to speak authoritatively and bullshit their way through explanations. It's about the nature of social standing and how a position of authority can make you less honest by expecting certainty where you don't possess it or you can't possess it. People listen to experts to explain things to them so they can repeat what the experts told them, but the experts themselves only have authority over their own experience. When expected to be an expert of a field of study, they merely repeat their own understanding of what other experts report from their own experience. This leads to a dogmatic interpretation in the listener of what is essentially a game of telephone.
