One way to initiate discussion about them without lowering your status would be to include them among a larger list of high-status beliefs, with the list sufficiently large that everyone thinks the experts wrong on some of them.

E.g., Say "I think that one or more of the following fifty high status opinions are wrong," and then make your list.
