Agreed, I suspect it is similar as with engineers. After 911, while I was still in construction, all the different trades I would talk to would explain from their profession, just why the towers could not have collapsed as they did.

So, one day the engineers are doing a walk through of the site I was on, so, I ask the guy some questions without mention to 911, and the guy confirms point by point by point, then I tie it all to NIST findings and he tells me that he would take whatever NIST found as correct.
