I would argue that Tufekci is an expert with plenty of expertise. She might not have the paper with the letters for epidemiology, but she's better than many. That aligns with what you say: Sure, the PhD is one signal, only as strong as the PhDs who vouched for the new one, but what matters most is the track record overall. And Tufekci has a pretty good one I'd reckon. Hence I wouldn't call her an expert without expertise.
Yes, we're close enough to agreement to call it good. Tufecki has done good work, as have you. CDC isn't looking as good, the more we learn about what went on there last year. It used to be the model for the rest of the world's public health agencies. Sad to see its decline when we most needed it to lead the way.
We're in complete agreement!
