#1 One need only look to the FBI’s declaration that the 2004 Madrid bombing fingerprint matched that of an American lawyer.

A lawyer's fingerprints on the Madrid bomb? Couldn't get him for something like jaywalking or tearing the labels off mattresses?

Judge Alex is correct. There are two court standards for admissible expert testimony. These two legal tests for expert testimony are: the Frye test and the Daubert test. Judges are faced with deciding whether evidence and expert qualifications meet these standards. I have seen some experts not allowed to testify in court as the result of these standards. Some sciences are "soft" such as the area of psychiatry and psychology whereas others are "harder" such as those of physics and engineering. At times the technology is in a nascent stage and just not well-developed.
