Sometimes, an expert opinion is undesirable. When? I don't know how this one will pan out, so if it flops, please bear with me. | ||

When the expert is wrong and you are right? Expert in a specific field? In a specific case? | ||

There are many other good answers by which the one that I'm using may pale in comparison. So, if the $p0!L3r is anticlimactic, I apologize in advance. Expert in a specific field? yope In a specific case? noish | ||

When expert opinion differs from what you actually want to do - e.g. a doctor telling someone the should give up smoking? | ||

Is it undesirable for an expert to be in a position to give an opinion at all? or to even be present in a particular situation? Is a specific individual expert relevant? "Doctors are the worst patients"? | ||

By John Morahan (Wunderland) on Monday, February 06, 2006 - 08:52 pm: Is it undesirable for an expert to be in a position to give an opinion at all? yopeish--exploreor to even be present in a particular situation? yopeishly the same as your previous question Is a specific individual expert relevant? not really "Doctors are the worst patients"? There is plenty of anecdotal evidence to support this, but this concept is not pertinent to this puzzle. | ||

Does the expert opinion cause something bad to happen? or something good not to happen? or is the expert called on because something bad has already happened? or something good has already failed to happen? | ||

Or is it undesirable from the expert's point of view to be called upon to give an opinion at 4 a.m. in the morning? | ||

Is the expert's opinion literally "That is undesirable"? | ||

By John Morahan (Wunderland) on Monday, February 06, 2006 - 09:24 pm: Or is it undesirable from the expert's point of view to be called upon to give an opinion at 4 a.m. in the morning? probably so, but not pertinent to this puzzle. By Mosquito (Mosquito) on Tuesday, February 07, 2006 - 01:32 am: Is the expert's opinion literally "That is undesirable"? this answer is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good, but unfortunately, I can't take credit for coming up with it.  .... so, no. | ||

The expert is an expert in the wrong field? I.e. needing to call a doctor (M.D.) when you accidentally get handed a Ph.D. in political science? | ||

***SPOILER*** By Lisa (Dlcygnet) on Tuesday, February 07, 2006 - 11:29 pm: The expert is an expert in the wrong field? close enough to put this one to rest!!! Thanks to those who participated, and I hope you enjoyed it! |
