Overturning Chevron is going to usher in an era where self-taught judicial expertise in technical areas such as chemistry, statistics, mechanical engineering, biology, geomorphology, epidemiology, mathematics, and many other fields will once more be able to shine forth as it did in the Middle Ages.

This will usher in a new Golden Age for paid "experts" giving testimony. Deepest pockets will win.

I think a difference may be that, back then, polymaths made a good-faith effort to study those fields and had a reasonable chance of learning most of what was known at the time. Federalist society judges will just read briefs from industry and more often than not follow that guidance.
