I mean, because it's a risk that's obvious even to me, and it's not my job to think about it all day. I guess they could just be stupid. 🤷

I feel like it is not wise to discard the opinion of a layperson with this reasoning. Sure experts have been working on it as their day job vs. Us just looking at the fruits of their labour. But that doesn't justify the assumption that they are infallible. Don't you agree in our own areas of supposed expertise we are often corrected or get inspiration from supposed laymen simply because we have been too myopic about solving the problem ahead of us?
