2. Expert testimony usually offers a reliable "final word."

Explanation

Expert testimony does not always offer a reliable "final word." While expert testimony can provide valuable insights and opinions based on their knowledge and experience, it is not infallible. Experts can have biases, limited information, or differing interpretations, which can lead to differing conclusions. Additionally, new evidence or advancements in knowledge can challenge or change expert testimony over time. Therefore, it is important to critically evaluate expert testimony and consider other sources of information before drawing conclusions.

4. Direct observation is the surest way to eliminate bias in research.

Explanation

Direct observation is not the surest way to eliminate bias in research. While direct observation can be a valuable research method, it is still subject to bias. Researchers may have their own biases that can influence their observations and interpretations. Additionally, there may be limitations in what can be observed directly, especially in complex or abstract concepts. To minimize bias, researchers often employ multiple methods, such as surveys, interviews, and experiments, to gather data from different perspectives and reduce the impact of individual biases.
