Generally true, but also, there are times when "all the experts" are indeed wrong. And once you experience that in your life, you can't blindly trust again.
The answer is do your own research, but be humble. Sometimes "they" are wrong, and sometimes you are wrong.
excellent point about not blindingly trusting. though, maybe it shouldn't be "all the experts" are right or wrong? perhaps it's just that the experts who disagree with the consensus are drowned out or silenced.
as you know, doing your own research is typically reading original sources or work from dissenting experts and making a judgement.
the framing of expert consensus vs. non-experts is incorrect and potentially misleading on his behalf.
