"You shouldn't trust them most of the time. Our best experts in the most important fields are usually wrong" says David Freedman. Freedman and Stossel discuss the peer review process (which does not protect against wrong answers, sloppiness, fraud, or incompetence) and is usually used for political reasons says Freedman. Also discussed are real estate, a case where Texas took custody of 500 kids from families belonging to a fundamentalist church saying that 9% of the kids had signs of bone fractures while the average for kids nationwide is actually 50%. Climate change, business renegades, and other topics are also discussed. Clip from 9/15/2011
