Abstract

A number of authors have argued that public argument is being eroded by increased reliance on experts. In order to test this thesis, the arguments that dominated the decision‐making before and after the Challenger accident are examined. The ultimate conclusion is that the relationship between the public and technical spheres is more complicated than has been realized previously.
