...by default, the experts are right and I should just shut up until I have some very good reasons to disagree.

Yet you decided to trust Yudkowsky, not the experts.

Any darn fool can decide the experts are victim of groupthink, or don't dare think outside the box, or just want to preserve the status quo.

I don't, that is why I am asking experts, many seem not to share Yudkowsky's worries.

I'm willing to call myself an "Eliezer Yudkosky fanboy" in a bullet-biting kind of way. I don't see the lack of systematic disagreement as a bad thing, and I don't care about looking like a cult member.

I actually got a link to his homepage and the SIAI on my homepage for a few years under 'favorites sites'.
