It is not clear to me that Rabbi Feinstein is a more distinguished 
expert in his field than certain of the readers of this network
are in theirs.

In addition, it is also unproven (by its very nature) that the body
of knowledge in which Feinstein is an expert is based on
revelation at Mount Sinai.
This is not meant to degrade Judaism, but just to
point out that Judaism is not based on any rational foundation.
(There is also no scientific evidence that G-d does not exist.)

By comparison, some of the scientists on this network are experts in
fields which have, if nothing else, made it possible for you to sit
there reading the news rather than hovelling in the cold night around
a dismal campfire.
