Personally, I don't reserve the word "expert" quite so much as jiberish does, but I do feel it needs to be reserved for things that are more proven rather than the "working theories" that we tend to practice here.
I tend not to think of the psych folks as experts either simply because of the field they practice. Their field, like NBE, is very changeable and is practiced using working theory rather than scientifically proven facts.
I also use the word "hack" in the form it was originally meant when first coined by the early computer industry. A "hack" in programming is "an inelegant but effective solution to a computing problem".
Likewise, NBE is a practice in hacking our bodies to cause breast development to initiate/re-initiate. It's inelegant. Imprecise. But largely, when done correctly and with appropriate research, it is "an effective solution".
