So you decide who is authoritive in the chosen field of expertise based on what you want to hear and whether it matches your political views?
Doctor: I am sorry Mr Pierre, you have the following condition and here is the reasons why ..
Mr Pierre: Sorry, I don't believe you, I want a second opinion. In fact I want a 3rd, 4th and 5th opinion until you tell me what I want to hear!

Den's right, you are generalising
Vast: of very great extent or quantity; immense.

No opinion about any aspect of brexit will become fact until such time as negotiations are completed and we withdraw.

The UK’s stated intention to leave the European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) – revealed last month in explanatory notes to the government’s bill authorising Brexit – understandably raised a few eyebrows. And with 543 readers responding to our poll on the topic it’s clearly an emotive issue for many in the engineering community.
We asked readers which of these impacts they were most worried about, or whether they felt the UK had the expertise to go it alone.
70 per cent of our respondents felt that the decision would be in some way negative for the industry, with 50 per cent of those who voted singling out its impact on fusion research as the biggest area of concern.
