Throwing this out there. ..the Dunning-Kruger effect, which says, in sum, that the dumber you are, the more confident you are that you’re not actually dumb. And when you get invested in being aggressively dumb…well, the last thing you want to encounter are experts who disagree with you, and so you dismiss them in order to maintain your unreasonably high opinion of yourself. haha One qualification Id make to this essay is that so-called experts have to account for the politics of knowledge. Some debates are actually debates that take place between paradigms/ perspectives so while the expert is an expert in one perspective, the person who debates with the expert might be speaking from a totally different perspective. (so people engaging in debate with the expert are best served by saying they are coming from a completely different point of view)
