Expert phob (noun): A person who has an irrational fear or anxiety towards experts or individuals who are more skilled or knowledgeable in a particular field.
John suffers from "expert phobia". An expert phob is defined as someone afraid of interacting with anyone with skills in an area where he lacks expertise. In John's perception, all the experts in society who have dedicated years to mastering a specific skill seem inferior and ignorant. John fears engaging with these individuals, so he often tries to avoid answering questions or running from technical discussions. John will not accept any answer from these people if it's an obvious answer like the time of the day.

Hym "And NOW... You're trying to justify maintain your claim to expertise by saying 'Well, yeah, no we're still the true Scottsmen and we have a consensus so ad populum.' And, I don't actually care about your level of expertise... You are trying to do is enforce this epistemic authority. But your an expert in an incest cult. And THIS (what you are doing to me) is your white intellectual property theft tactic. You surround me, arms locked, and chant your grabled meaningless drivel... And then you wait for me to die... And then 'rob the grave to snow the cradle.' "

Get the Expertise mug.The overarching bias that privileges the experimental method itself as the sole arbiter of truth. It assumes that if you cannot isolate, manipulate, and measure a phenomenon in an experiment, it is not a legitimate object of knowledge. This renders history, ethics, love, and justice mere matters of opinion.
Example: Dismissing the concept of systemic racism because "you can't run a controlled experiment on society." Experiment bias confuses one powerful tool for knowledge with the definition of knowledge itself, rendering most of human experience allegedly unknowable.
