Or questioning a doctors advice or expertise. Doctors have to go through an undergrad, 4 years of med school (at an insanely high price), pass multiple GIANT exams that take like 6-8 hours to complete, then do 4+ years of residency while getting paid very little while paying off debt before they even officially become a doctor.
You should ALWAYS question a doctor's advice or expertise. What you are describing is not intelligence or respect for a professional, it is stupidity. Moreover, how exactly does your logic work when it comes to a second opinion disagreement? How are you supposed to make a decision on whose opinion to go with if you do not question their advice or expertise? Are you making a decision on credentials then instead of empirical evidence each has provided for their argument? Because according to your line of thinking, it is only their level of education and credentials that apparently matter in the correctness of their position.
Like seriously, your argument TC is an appeal to authority.

However, it is entirely possible that the opinion of a person or institution of authority is wrong; therefore the authority that such a person or institution holds does not have any intrinsic bearing upon whether their claims are true or not.
That is to say, it is all about the evidence that backs an opinion. Experts and professionals are expected to be more accurate than the average person, but this is not always the case in general, and it is certainly not the case on a case by case basis.
