I disagree.
Experts in any given field almost certainly believe the actually sensible part of what you believe, and do not believe the parts that seem sensible to you but aren't for non-obvious reasons.
Something special and weird needs to happen in order for a smart outsider to outthink an entire community of experts. This does happen sometimes, but extremely rarely.
Why not just learn stuff instead?
