This post is a short comment on the appropriate term to use when describing a person expected to have good knowledge of a subject. The absolute “expert” is an inappropriate term. It is used today in propagandist manipulation.
The appropriate term to use is “specialist”. We, for example, wrote in an article on this website:
“A prominent French infectious disease specialist Didier Raoult.”
Didier Raoult is a definitely a specialist. Raoult is specialized in infectious diseases.
From our comment on a social network:
The word “expert” is a propagandist fabrication: the masses should listen to everybody called “expert“.
Nobody is beyond error, everybody should be subjected to scrutiny and criticism.
Propaganda and brainwashing vs reality:
