Do the men in black robes know more than you, the common folk? About the law, you bet. Do scientists know more about science than nose-pickers? Of course. Doctors about medicine? Yes.

In fact, common folk don't know much about anything. That's why their called common folk.

Ah, there it is! Thanks!

Wow. What an elitist, liberal thing to say.

I’m surprised you’ve lasted here since ‘01.

You’re pulling our collective legs, aren’t you?

Ha ha! Funny. You got us.

Your attitude is such a caricature of an elitist liberal, it has to be a joke.

You’ve taken Sowell’s observation about the dichotomy of the “conflict of visions” and made your own cliche persona version of the elitist, “some humans are more suited to make decisions for others” leftwinger.

Good one, dude.

You're really on a roll, aren't you.

Now you've managed to insult the rest of humanity.

Outside of the law, judges are just common folk; outside of medicine, doctors are just common folk; outside of science, scientists are just common folk; outside of anyone's area of expertise, people are just common folk. Not everyone is good at everything. Everyone has areas in their lives that puts them at the common folk level.
