In your opinion, only experts who have no knife in the fight are worthy of respect ?

I guess anyone who spends years in a field and who writes about their findings and experiences and research are instantly suspect, according to you ?

I am immediately suspect of anyone who makes a claim with 'teaser' information and then offers a book for $24.99 to further explain their views. Someone that does research in the field and then publishes the information in a professional/scientific/medical journal with sources available for peer review is someone I take much more seriously than someone with a hand held out looking for my Visa or check.

I'm not saying that I don't respect this man or that I find his research doubtful, I don't know enough about him to formulate a strong opinion. I'm just cynical of authors pushing books under the guise of science. Maybe this guy is right on the money, maybe he isn't. I withhold judgment until I see peer review
