I believe like you do. Ultimate theory is accessible to everyone. The job of the true authority is only to get you to see for yourself. After that he is nothing and shouldn't try to be any more.

However, I would slightly change them to say that A role of an 'expert' is to get you to see for yourself. Research people don't necessarily see themselves in any particular roles toward students or toward less proficient research people except if the students are undergraduate or graduate students whom they are teaching or supervising or both. Even in the latter cases, do you know what graduate students do usually when they are more or less "successful"? They co-author papers with their supervisor. I'd say that the job of a researcher is usually regarded by researchers as publishing period. Anything more that you can get out of them is "extra", although the public and some graduate students and undergraduates have the fairy tale that research professors or research professor-teachers are primarily concerned with teaching.
