That would be Jim Davis, who trains, oversees and continally updates knowledge of MGs.
I am quite confident that an MG will not give an answer that will kill your palm tree, as you imply.

I agree that Jim is an expert. "Utter" implies absolute, perfect, complete. I know Jim's good, but is he actually all knowing in all realms of palm information ? Heck, I still learn, experiment, question conventional dogma
Had the expert's never been questioned, we would still be draining blood from people to "get the sickness out".
The only thing I am trying to get across to the OP, was that showing a picture may not give the expert all the information needed for a correct diagnosis. And though I am sure no MG would intentionally give an answer that would kill the tree, there are solutions to some issues, that could kill a palm with some common issues.
I stand by my suggestion, that the OP should have an expert look at the palm, in real life, if all the fronds on the tree have brown tips, and not just the lower fronds.
