 A third method that a layperson might consider employing is how many other putative experts agree with a specified target expert on many of the questions in the target domain. If a given expert is an outlier on the issue in question, that might be a reason to avoid him/her. Conversely, if a large number of (putative) experts agree with the selected target, doesn’t that give extra weight to the latter’s promise as a sound advisor? Surely, a large number of concurring experts should provide strong support for a selected individual.
