Document Summary
Klienman how can you improve decision making by getting more people involved. Collins & evans limit the role of ordinary people, restricted to political phase (except when they have experience (contributory expertise). What s important to expertise is the experience doing something key were trying to get from experts. These are embodied in tacit skills that they have from social emersion. This is something ordinary people cannot access without being introduced into the social group (socialization process) being subject to authoritarian teacher. Political phase : everyone should have a say. Technical phase: only contributory experts with qualifications should be doing the work but they can be accompanied by contributory experts who have experience. The idea of science being certain is a myth both klienman and collins and evans. Collins and evans blame the ordinary people for the myth of certainty (b/c people are socially naive) [similar to douglas].
