Oh boy. Care to quantify ".. so frequently". Some experts have lied does 
not equate with experts lying frequently. And which experts are you 
talking about, the expert doctors that have given us unprecedented good 
health and long lives over the past 100 years? The other experts that 
have given us all the technology that we use so casually to write here, 
or get about our modern daily lives?

"Experts" are people, the odd ones fail to meet standards just as you 
are doing in your thinking here. Some people fail to see the forest  
because the trees get in the way!
