    Also a PhD is an expert in a hyper specific niche area of their specialty. Would I trust someone who has a PhD in astrophysicist with an expertise on black holes. When it comes to talking about black holes? Yes.

    Would I trust that person to give me medical advice? Probably not. Would I trust them to help me show basic car maintenance? Maybe and only because they have experience with car maintenance not because of a PhD.
