anyone who believe themself to be, or are advertised/promoted to be, an “expert” ARE usually propagandist selling bull-shit! 💩
a man or woman who is a True “expert”, in any given field, would probably never refer to themselves as an “expert”; they could be viewed as a “professional ______”, if they have had a successful illustrious career in said field of proprietor or employ. 🧐
Experts don't generally need to hype themselves. In a legal brief, references to experience and certification is relevant, but the man who uses awards and titles to back a load of bullshit does a disservice to himself and insults his reader/listener.
And you can believe me here because I am a librarian with many years of experience. 😀
glad to believe that we are in agreement!
i appreciate your professionalism, as a re-searcher, without boasting expertise! 🤗
