For me, It depends on their expertise. If a mechanic tells me my brakes are going out, I listen, but if they try to give me medical advice, I'll be more skeptical.

    Surely that follows into the same point? You would go to then for mechanical advice, and should be receptive to their criticisms within that area, but less so for their medical advice.

    Except, hear me out, imagine they are a trusted mechanic. So if they say "hey, I'm not a doctor. But the mole I had that looked like that turned out to be cancer" - you might schedule with a dermatologist.
