It’s not being a sheep to look at this and realize that what that group is saying is probably right and that you, as a layman, should probably accept what they are saying. That’s actually the opposite of being a sheep, it’s being objective and reasonable.

Yes, in the ideal world, the sheepherders are wise friends and behaving as a sheep (let’s not quibble) is the winning strategy.
But I dislike sheep.

Unless you’re out doing the actual research yourself, like gathering the data, designing the studies, and then analyzing the results, you’re just a sheep too in the same exact way. You’re just making an irrational decision about which sheepherder to follow.

That’s definitely an option
Another option is a little of all three, marrying none.

We aren’t talking about marrying anyone, but rationally and objectively determining what is the most likely outcome.
By not trying to figure out what’s right, sure you’re not a sheep, you’re just a non thinking rock. Why anyone would think that’s better, I don’t know.
