sure, but experts have been making bad assumptions before.

Like archaeologists up until relatively recently have been calling viking graves with swords in male, without really looking at the actual skeleton.

that said, yeah, I still definitely trust the experts more

Shouldn't have just assumed but in that case it was the correct assumption vast majority of the time. Still bad to assume.
