with respect to experts abusing their expertise:
As far as psych majors abusing their knowledge, that's highly doubtful. Most of the psych majors are morons, barely a step above the gender/cultural studies types. I'm being generous here. Those that are intelligent enough to leverage their knowledge are probably mostly good people and have no interest in manipulation. Those that are interested in manipulation probably started doing this early in life, and don't need the theoretical knowledge from what is essentially a quack pseudoscience, these days.
As far as my knowledge of physics, nope. It doesn't carry over to real life, for the most part. Driving may be a small exception, but I certainly can't play billiards. And that's because theoretical knowledge doesn't transfer over into the hand and eye coordination required to leverage the knowledge.
Where knowledge of physics DOES come in handy, is when I see new age woo type quackery that references "quantum mechanics". Anything that says you can manifest your reality because "an observer changes the observed" is grossly misinformed or deliberately lying. Certainly you can influence your reality and change the outcome of your life, but that has nothing to do with QM. It actually has more to do with psychology, in fact.
