It never ceases to amaze me that some folks, expert in one area, believe their expertise or excellence automatically transfers to another area. I mean, they really believe it! Examples: physics → politics, business → education, any domain → sports, chemistry → religion, and so on. We’ll call this the transference effect or the transference phenomenon. [I'm not sure if this note is an admonition to others or a personal admission; let's make it both to be on the safe side.] We restrict this note to arguments made outside one’s expertise, not within for which there are many more argument types. The expertise areas will be called domains . So, we are discussing the arguments made by a person, expert in one domain, toward conclusions made for another domain. For our purposes here we use the domains: Science, Education, Politics, Philosophy, Religion, Humanities, and Business. You may wish to add your own. The types of assertions we discuss are direct assertions
