They just listed the, "The 6 Most Statistically Full of Sh%$ Professions, (%$ mine) and they are:

6. Stock Market Experts
5. Wine Tasters
4. Art Critics
3. Criminal Profilers
2. Weather Forecasters
1. Sportswriting

Note that this is not just a slam at these professions. It is a statistical analysis about how they perform relative to random chance.

Stock market experts underperform the market, wine tasters cannot tell the difference between "Grand Cru" and "vin de table", art critics cannot identify clear forgeries, criminal profilers don't beat control groups, weather forecasters don't beat chance, and sportswriters bat about .476 at predicting games.

Just to let you know what it means when you allow non-peer reviewed professions to declare themselves "experts."
