you don't have to be an absolute expert on a given topic to opine on liability issues.  it might be possible to argue that a person with less expertise would be more inclined to take a conservative position, but conversely you could probably argue that a less experienced expert may be inclined to take a more aggressive position to satisfy his client.  in some ways, it is up to the individual expert to determine what they feel they are qualified to testify about, which ends up being the crux of thing.  a responsible expert would in theory recuse themselves if they felt their expertise were insufficient to take a position worth considering, whereas another expert may be willing to go-out-on-a-limb for lack of a better explanation, in order to appease the group paying the invoice.

no one on this board had proven that they have sufficient evidence or expertise to properly dispute the findings of the man that has been tasked by SU in this particular capacity, and no one has put their professional reputation on the line in opposition to this particular man.  i'm not saying I know the answer.  i'm just saying that there is a long way between some family doctor saying the kid can play football to the media, and a doctor taking the stand and saying a kid is concussion free.  it might be the grayest of areas.
