Pete Rose spent his life in baseball... so?
what's your point?
Hey, you're MAKING my point, and don't even realize it!!!!! Too funny!
I'll break the analogy down for you...just FOR YOU.....
Pete Rose spent his life in baseball, you are correct. Pete Rose,
because he spent his life in baseball, knows an awful lot about the
subject, and could EASILY be called an expert, and correctly so.
Yeah, but don't you know that one mistake erases everything you ever knew
about your profession?
One mistake may not erase everything that one knows about their profession
however depending on the magnitude of the mistake it certainly could discredit
one from having any weight as an authority.
:-) And, based on this theory, perhaps 75% of avid
baseball fans know nothing about the sport because they probably wagered at
least once on the outcome of a game.
