If you find that your admittedly-uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that "all the experts know something I don't" is a more likely explanation than "I alone solved a complex problem experts have long been studying."

I generally concur with this, except in one field: economics. That 90% of economists agree isn’t really a sign of anything much, just that the field has been corrupted by the desire to placate or ingratiate themselves to the patricians and panjandrums.

If an economist says it, it’s not necessarily wrong, but I’d take the assertion with an enormous, Cheops’ Pyramid size grain of salt.
