How does one distinguish the top of a field in which 98% of practitioners are incorrect? Seems like we need a breakthrough of some sort.

IMO the top 2% know their stuff 10x better than someone at even the top 10% level.

So imagine if you lined up 100 people with a PhD in nutrition. To the average person they seem like they know their stuff. But imo, the bottom ones are druggies, weirdos, and frauds. The middle are what you'd expect. The top 2 stand out clearly.
