As KSig RC stated, you pick up on the less substantive points and nitpick to create a strawman argument for yourself. Now you've become sidetracked by "layperson," "experience," and "expertise."
Personal experience is not the end-all and be-all for most things. Would you go to a doctor whose only knowledge of, and experience with, sickness is that she had a cold or was diagnosed with cancer before? Doctors not only have personal experiences but they have worked with others who have personal experiences. This hands-on knowledge is matched with reading and research that allow them to engage on theoretical and substantive levels with other doctors and reach out to laypersons.
The End. Seriously.

I did not say it was the end all. I said it was valid and shouldn't be dismissed.
If it's the end then PLEASE f-o.
