LEXICON: expert halo

expert halo - / ˈekspɜːt ˈheɪləʊ / - noun
One of the Heuristic Traps identified by avalanche researcher, Ian McCammon. When skiing in a group it is sometimes easier to let others make the decisions or accept a decision that conflicts with your own, especially when the decision maker appears to have more experience or expertise. At the Republic we think everyone has a voice (that’s why we're a republic) but we also know it takes real courage to speak up. (See also Heuristic Traps)

\\ Don't fall into the expert halo trap. Never be afraid to question. Speak up, don't follow in silence. A true expert will appreciate your input.
