It's valid to trust your intuition when an "expert" seems to be misrepresenting something outside their core knowledge, as illustrated by Isaac Newton, a physics genius who lost a fortune in the stock market; Elon Musk, a marketing expert whose ambitious technological promises have often faced significant delays; and even some Bitcoin core developers whose C++ proficiency might lead them to overestimate their grasp of complex fields like economics, philosophy, and monetary networks. This phenomenon can be partly explained by the Dunning-Kruger effect, where individuals, even experts in one domain, may overestimate their competence in other areas, lacking the self-awareness to recognize the limits of their expertise and mistakenly believing their specific proficiency translates broadly.
