>Ok that all makes sense. What if I called it "an experts opinion" instead of "an expert opinion"? Those folks are mental health professionals, so they're experts right? Wouldn't you value what they think more than most other people in regards to this? And why would he ask me for an expert opinion if he wasn't prepared to accept the opinion of an expert? Kind of a pointless thing to ask then wasn't it?

Maybe he was using the Socratic method - it's ridiculous for anyone to speculate on mental health unless there's been an evaluation. Maybe that was the point JR was trying to make.
