I would assume that experts are likely to be concerned to an extent more appropriate to the severity of the risk than autodidacts are.

That is exactly what I would assume too. Autodidacts' risk estimates should be worse than experts'. It does not follow that autodidacts' risk estimates should be milder than experts', though. The latter claim is what I meant to contest.
