Double check an expert's view

In order to make sure that you are adopting a valid position of a true expert, try out the below techniques that will help you determine how well the person really masters his or her field:

• Whenever a person claims to be an expert in a field where they do not have previous experience, double check their claims.
• If the problem is complex and one person claims to know the answer, learn to be doubtful and double check.
• When the expert prefers to use the technique of the best/ worst scenarios, better embrace skepticism.
• If the expert relies on counterintuitive claims, check out his reasoning.
