Yeah. I'll believe my mate who studied immunology for 5 years and has a PhD. Who was trained by people with actual lab and research experience. But sure mate. I'm sure a bit of Google and you're the expert eh lol
You can do what you want. But defacing bank notes just is cringe and turns people away from what you're trying to promote, because they will see it like a scam
That's why only crazy people do it
In personal discussions, people of such credentials confirmed that they also just "trust the [academic] process" and "don't have time" to check the foundations of their convictions. And that they didn't know, but "there surely was someone specialized" who does.
More clearly, in this context, saying you trust your mate is equal to saying you trust your recorder that is replaying the cassette that someone happened to have left in it.
You are right, it is best to trust the experts, they're totally not brainwashed with intense indoctrination and huge personal and professional conflicts of interest.
