Pretty much says it all
If you're a revisionist - someone pushing for radically changing the status quo - Âyou're apt to see "the experts" not just as people who may be standing in your way, but whose minds have been corrupted by a wrongheaded ideology whose arguments can therefore be ignored. To many in the Bush administration, 'the experts' look like so many liberals wedded to a philosophy of big government, the welfare state, over-regulation and a pussyfooting role for the nation abroad.
Now where else have I seen that behavior...?
