Bad analogy. No one is posing as a scientist, just judging them by their fruit. When the plane crashes those who are not pilots can still ask if the pilot was properly trained or not.
It's quite likely that they can't. When a plane crashes the people who investigate it & try to decide whether the cause was pilot error or something else may not be pilots but they are people who are trained in appropriate kinds of work, are familiar with the workings of airplanes, air traffic control, &c. They aren't just people who are brought in off the street.
