Peer disagreement

peace.
 
In one of the last questions, you referred to a column on Peer disagreement. You wrote an argument there like this: The very fact that I have formulated a position and someone disagrees with it undermines the fact that he is a peer, who, if he were as smart as me, would have reached my (true) conclusion.
 
I don’t understand. It’s not that the question of Peer disagreement is a result of the assumption that he is a peer and I can challenge this assumption, but rather that without prior knowledge I cannot assume that I am smarter than him and thus trust the justice of my position. Ostensibly, the burden of proof is on me to prove that he is not a peer. That is, without prior knowledge, why would I assume that I am smarter than him or anyone else in the world? Just as I do not assume that I am stupider than him, and I have no idea of ​​his wisdom relative to my wisdom. Therefore, the proofs that he is not a peer cannot be based on the assumption sought, but on concrete information or on other assumptions. I would suggest challenging the fellowship in a different way: the fact that he disagrees with my position proves that he is not a fellowship, but not because he is not as smart as me, but because he does not truly hold it (an argument that cannot be repeated by me, who knows that I do truly and sincerely hold my position) or because he did not examine the position he holds at all, but rather repeated the words of others (who do not truly hold it… if the problem does not recur with them). Assuming that he examined it but not as much as I do brings us to the same problem. It is not enough in an argument that I know that these are not cases, but there we are indeed not supposed to rely on our opinions.
 
(In a sidebar: The problem of apparent peer disagreement is a central problem in epistemology and calls into question every way in which a person makes decisions about truth and falsehood. Is there a complete literature on this? Perhaps you can point me to something about it besides the articles you mentioned there. Because the Hebrew Wikipedia has no mention of it, and the English Wikipedia also has little value if any references.)
