What happens when the person who sounds qualified is wrong—and the person everyone dismisses is right? The Doctor/Rocketship Test is an exploration of discernment, authority, expertise, evidence, and the assumptions people use to decide who—or what—to trust. Through thought experiments and real-world case studies involving education, regulation, credentials, safety, ownership, professional expertise, and everyday decision-making, the book asks readers to examine a deceptively simple problem: Are you judging an answer by the evidence, or by the person giving it? The Standard Edition presents the complete Doctor/Rocketship framework as a tool for questioning assumptions without abandoning reason, expertise, or evidence. This isn't a book about automatically distrusting authority. It's about learning when authority deserves trust—and when the evidence deserves another look.
