True, but that seems inconsistent with taking human experts but not algorithms as authorities. Maybe these tend to be different people, or they're just inconsistent about judging human experts.
It's worth thinking about what makes one an expert, and what convinces others of one's expertise. Someone has to agree that you're an expert before they take you as an authority. There's a social dynamic at work here.
