When is somebody an expert? - you need 10,000 hours experience

It is more fun criticizing





10,000 hours to be an expert

In the current impeachment trial, some personalities were presented as experts.   "forensic expert"  It turns out that the said witness only spent two months in the field

As per Malcolm Gladwell in his book "Outliers"  you can only be considered an expert when you have been exposed and spent 10,000 in the said field (or roughtly 10 years.

We should be more careful in using the term

Aviation expert blames solid wall as cause of deaths at South Korean airport tragedy

It is more fun criticizing

179 out of 182 passengers perished in landing air crash tragedy involving Jejun Airline at Mauan South Korean.

The plane was reported to have had a bird strike which disabled its hydraulic system which prevented the lowering of its landing gear and the extension of flaps to slow the plane landing

The aviation expert noted that the pilot made a normal landing and fatalities could have been lower had there been no concrete structure at the end of the runway.   The aviation expert said the solid wall should not be there anyway on the runway.   But there was.   Airport authorities said that they complied with air operations standard.


The aviation expert belies that the deaths were caused by bird strike or even plane manufacturer.  It would have been the same for either of the major airline manufactuer.

Man vs expert at Discovery

It is more fun criticizing

Rizal Philippines

A man defeated 3 experts:   a professor, a sharpshooter and champion kayaker. Of course he cheated.
Featured at Discovery



How did he do it?

1.  Defeating the professor

     A 12 year old boy defeated a 50 year old mathematician from Oxford a South Korean, in a quiz with difficult questions.  The boy was coached via hi frequency beeps    One beep for A,  two beeps for B, and three beeps for C.  The frequency was at 17 K audible only to the  twelve year old boy.   The 50 year old professor is only good for 12 k sound.   I could not hear that beep (being 67)

2.  Defeating the sharpshooter

    The man had rifle with laser.  The challenge was to hit the balloons with black and white on top of the other.   The sharpshooter would shoot black over white, the  man white over black.  Each balloon shot incorrectly meant 15 seconds penalty.   The sharpshooter scored 45 seconds.  The man 15 seconds.  How did he do it. The laser penetrated over the white balloons and the man actually had to shoot away from the balloon.  The laser from the gun burst the balloon, not the bullets. For the sharpshooter, he set up the balloons in such a way that they were close and the sharpshooter would make more mistake

3.  Vs. the champion kayaker.

    The kayaker did the  1 km rowing in 11 minutes +.  The man did it in only 5 minutes.  How,  he waited for the tidal wall coming up the river and rowed with it.  The tidal wall pushed him fast
