Today I was browsing the web site of someone who is very respected in a certain field when I came upon a writing on a completely different subject that is blatantly and objectively incorrect. That didn't make the writer's other accomplishments any less interesting, it just made me realize that like all humans, the writer can be off-base/uninformed.
Therefore, just because somebody is famous or accomplished in one discipline does not mean that everything said by that person is correct (or even close). Listening to someone smart does not provide an opportunity to turn off critical thinking.
