"expertise is only expertise about power."

     John Milbank, Theology and social theory:  beyond secular reason, 2nd ed. (Malden, MA:  Blackwell Publishing, 2006), 442.  "the basis of this consensus is not agreement about either 'the goal' or 'the way' [(439.2 ff.)], but merely a deferral to 'expert' opinion.  And expertise is only expertise about power."
