> ou shouldn't trust anybody other than yourself

This is not good advice.

I’d say find experts that you trust and be aware that these experts may commit mistakes as any other human.

In short: find the experts that make the least mistakes.

Perhaps I should have been more precise (since you ommited a key part of my sentence) in pointing out that any person on their own is probably wrong about a lot of things. Only by taking into consideration a large enough sample of opinions can you begin to formulate your own with sufficient confidence of it being correct. Outsorcing your opinions to an 'expert' is giving up critical thinking.
