The nature of expertise is usually discussed only within the confines of individualistic epistemology, despite the fact that many tasks typically performed by individual experts are now performed by groups. As a result, some definitions and conditions of expertise may fail to account for group expertise. I will argue that current versions of veritism do not allow for group experts beyond the mere conceptual possibility of them. For non-summativists, this is a problem they should address. I also propose a condition for veritistic expertise that retains the veritistic intuition but makes group expertise more feasible in realistic contexts.
