But it has to be done by experts who have full knowledge of the consensus. Not some backwater racist builder from Flyover, USA.

It doesn't have to be done by experts.

All it needs is an individual who can keep to the scientific method, which some rednecks can do.

It is just that most people don't understand it, so their method of researching is flawed and will come to flawed conclusions. It is why we have Flat Earthers

Doesn't even have to be proper scientific method. People see patterns; patterns are science. A layman can spot something that was missed by experts: it happens sometimes.

Now, you don't want to trust that layman's findings against an expert, without proper investigation, preferably by those same experts! Step one is finding something; step two is verifying it in a way that other people can trust.

Overall I agree, hate the term “redneck” though. Nothing wrong with working that kind of job, always thought it was a classist term
