23. My tag line does not rely

on any particular "expertise" by Freud, but is simply what should be a rather self-evident, and ultimately indisputable point (uncomprehended by many), which he managed to express with particular cogency. So your own snark misses the point of it rather badly.

As far as Zinn's point, does he even have one that's worth making? Clearly he recognizes that expertise exists (as my own post was meant to illustrate to anyone who hadn't grasped that from his own quote). So what, then? That some experts speak and act out of less than noble motives, and with less than saint-like honesty? Duh. So do a lot of incompetent and marginally competent people pretending to be experts. In those circumstances where expertise applies, which would he truly rather have giving advice and guidance?
