If one considers a domain of “expertise” to be loosely akin to an epistemic culture, Gorman seems to think that actors with diverse expertise are necessary for addressing the complex techno-scientific problems of the contemporary. He seems to be arguing that, through sustained interaction and the “right” attitude, these actors will be able to attain “a common understanding of a goal and collaborate closely” (Gorman 2002, 934).
