Out to Lunch

How should one handle the situation when the "authority having jurisdiction" is out to  lunch on a particular topic?

We see this in the building code, in nutritional recommendations, in medical recommendations, and in the past religion, when it had real influence. One way is to write a book, do a blog, or a web site and publish it. The information is then out there, in the public domain, where people are free to chose to understand or not.

This is considered dissonance of some kind, in the past it might have been treason or heresy. Now it is rebellion, but what is the best solution?
