The precise wording was that he would rely on the expertise of the authors and did not feel it was his place as editor to challenge this, even when he suspected it was inaccurate. The only time he turns to others is when a question is posed to which he doesn't know the answer. There was an effort made late in Roy's last tenure as Editor to correct this by establishing a set of "Contributing Editors", and Roy did involve them, for a while, but this now seems to have dropped by the wayside.
