Thanks!  It turns out I don't trust either class.  Doctors are a set of
professionals just like any other---full of dilettantes.  (Gell-Mann
amnesia effect might be a useful keyword here.)  When I hear the average
professional write or talk in my area, it's often full of nonsense.  I
don't think it's different in any other area.
