"When the experts are agreed, the opposite opinion cannot be held to be certain; 
When [they] are not agreed, no opinion can be regarded  as certain by a non-expert;   
when they all hold that no sufficient grounds for a positive opinion to exist, the ordinary man would do will to suspend his judgement."Bertrand Russell.
