21 Experts Who Are Sick of Hollywood Winging It

Being an expert sounds hard. For one thing, you probably have a very stressful job. People are always looking to you to know important stuff. You probably underwent a long and expensive education or at least spent an equal number of sleepless nights reading Wikipedia. You probably have to deal with many, many people on Twitter arguing with you based on a paper they just Googled, that you probably wrote.
