expert's dilemma

A problem faced by a person with specialized expertise in any area, in which the implications of the opinion are unpopular and likely to be rejected by those who need that expertise. For example, economists may be likely to know that, in some cases, a "market solution" is inherently impossible, but proposing an alternative is an exercise not merely in futility, but career suicide among those who employ economists. It arises because the expert knows more about the field than her employers.

The statistician was asked by his boss to make a case for risk homeostasis, but knowing better, he faced an expert's dilemma: telling the truth would get him tarred as a 'socialist.'

excue e moi s vo plai

This isn't in an ancient language... It is a derivitave of French, and would be understood as 'excuse me, if you please' in most Cajun or Creole dialects. It is the same type of 'language' used in the French West Indies where it combined with African languages and isn't any more than 400 years old. If you think that qualifies as ancient, you need to go back to high school.

(In Acadian Baritaria, etc.)
Person one: "Excue e moi s vo plai, vu vaiy un chose pour me faiy boi(re)?"
Person two: "Excuse-moi, s'il vous plait, je ne parle pas Creole."

(In Africa)
Person one: "Excue e moi s vo plai..."
Person two: "Sorry, I don't speak French and I have no idea why you think you are speaking African you ignorance-monger."
