Faking the physics
He's attended their conferences and interviewed all the major figures in the field countless times (the physicists look forward to his arrival, apparently, because he gets around a lot more than they do and puts more effort into networking, so he can often tell them new things that other people are doing in their subject).
So, it would be fair to say that Prof Collins knows a lot about gravity waves. But on the other hand, he doesn't actually understand any of the mathematics that the physicists use, and therefore couldn't possibly make an original contribution to the field
....
The experiment looks like a simple Turing Test. Seven questions on the subject of gravity waves were submitted by email to Prof. Collins, and to a proper physicist, with instructions to them both to not look the answer up but just to reply from general knowledge. The answers were then submitted to a panel of judges who were gravity wave physicists, asking them to identify which one was really coming from a physicist and which one came from a well-informed sociologist.
The results were like one of those dream episodes of the TV show Faking It[1]. All but one of the judges picked Harry Collins as the physicist. Which is obviously hilarious, but what does it prove?

Очень полезно в изучении разниц-границ между экспЕртом и рабОтников. Нeсмотря на некоторую специфику этой области физики, я думаю, что результат довольно инварианантен.
Хорошо хоть сформулировать успел.
ПС. Следующий экспевримент, хотя бы мысленный, должен быть такой: кому из них дадут грант менеджеры?
