Experts Often Completely Wrong

“The experts were, by and large, horrific forecasters. Their areas of specialty, years of experience, and (for some) access to classified information made no difference. They were bad at short-term forecasting and bad at long-term forecasting. They were bad at forecasting in every domain.”  – David Epstein in the article “The Peculiar Blindness of Experts” in the June, 2019 Atlantic.
