    As a young scientist who's yet to gain PhD:

    Absolutely do challenge scientists, no matter your qualification. Sometimes (granted, that's rare) you might be right.

    Just do it in a respectful way and make sure you check your arguments.

    Also, while scientists are generally more educated overall, they can absolutely be foolish in what falls outside their scope. "I'm a scientist" is not a valid argument.

    And yes, always check for a conflict of interest.
