To the extent that, if I so chose to learn their field, their findings would be obvious and apparent to me. Also, I look for a consensus among experts and peer reviewed, published work.

Being able to change one's views to accommodate new information is a reason to trust someone more not less.

Lastly, are there any areas in which experts generally all agree and their opinions haven't changed much through history but you're still skeptical?
Eh, no, not really.
