"Experts are often called in, not to provide factual information or dispassionate analysis for the purpose of decision-making by responsible officials, but to give political cover for decisions already made and based on other considerations entirely."
~ Thomas Sowell, from his book Intellectuals and Society

I see quotes by Yaron Brook and feel nothing, but this one stops me and I wonder who wrote this? It is great. Love Sowell.
Sowell can be very incisive. Hard for anyone to compete with that acuity.
