Assuming, of course, that there is evidence of the experts having actually considered the argument properly, instead of just giving the first or second answer that came to mind in response to it. (Or to be exact, the first-thought-that-came-to-mind dismissal is evidence too, but very weak such.)
This is unfortunately reminiscent of the standard LW objection "well, they're only smart in the lab" to any scientist who doesn't support local tropes.
I don't believe that is a standard LW objection.
