People, when dealing with other research-based fields, like engineering or medicine, tend to trust professionals and don't try to argue with them thinking they know better. Not with the economy and economists though........ In the medical field, engineering, and other sciences, there is a acceptance of well-established procedures and concepts. It's interesting how everyone seems to have their own take on the macro economy and believes they could do a better job with their uneducated ideas. It stems from a lack of knowledge that economics, while only a social science, is still a deep and nuanced field with a tonne of research and empirical evidence backing the norms we follow.

My grandpa always had an opinion and no matter what others/facts said, he was always right...
 
I won't have an opinion on something and not express it. It will be like gagging myself. As long as I have knowledge on the subject, I'll say my mind even in the face of any authority in the field.
 
Everybody has an opinion. Some are right. Some are wrong. I believe the main issue is to have Respect for differing beliefs.
 
Wow kiddo.. That's true.
Most is the time, they refuse to acknowledge statistics...I learn to keep quiet just to protect my peace >>
