Remember the movie "Hoosiers"? No? You have to be careful with people who seem to be clearly outclassed. There's always something that has brought them as far as they've gone.
I do not have any premise that "Group A is qualified to assess B". I have merely observed that "Group A has assessed B". In addition to your fallacy in comparing apples to oranges, you can add error in identifying the oranges.
This whole discussion arose because Sarge claimed…
