Overall fantastic article. One small request:

If they don’t have any special reason not to, people without special knowledge defer to the scientific consensus on technical issues.

Thanks!

I read that in a paper by Dan Kahan on bias, but have been unable to find it since. I hope I don't misremember, but that that was exactly what he said. In any case, I'll notify you in case I find it.
