in your example the defense is at fault for not objecting to the testimony at the outset.

and or the prosecution is culpable for leading the witness into testimony they were not qualified to give.

probably why the whole thing was over tuned on appeal.

it's not up to the Dr to censor themselves and 'stay in their lane", as you put it, it up to the other actors in the court to discern what the hell is going on.

I agree with a lot of the above, however, I also think that it’s an intellectual virtue to know the borders of one’s knowledge and expertise and, most importantly, when to keep quiet.
