I reckon most are not although some may be. However, Seif is currently
an associate professor in New York University's Journalism Department
with a Masters in Math. He is nowhere near the caliber of a quantum
physicist which would render your point moot, would it not?

As a matter of fact, it would. From Webster's:
"moot - (1) open to discussion"

Here's what Charles Seife says under "Acknowledgments":
"A lot of people helped me write this book: it's not
possible for me to name them all. Over the past few
years I have interviewed dozens of physicists,
cosmologists, and astronomers who took the time to
explain the nuances of their work to a journalist.
I thank them for their enthusiasm and their patience.
They are the reason I wrote "Alpha and Omega" in the
first place." The Bibliography is pretty impressive.

But feel free to try to disprove the Casimir effect.
