It's always important to remember that something can be obvious to a layman, but be considered ridiculous by an expert, as the expert's view is likely rigid and unlikely to deviate from their experience.

This does not mean experts are morons (They're considered experts for a damn good reason). it simply means an outsider perspective can be valuable from time to time.
