You think there’s no value added from expertise in “Foreign policy, or economics, or Public health policy”??? That’s ... wow. There are questions in those domains that are political, and belong to the public. That something different.

OK. In which case I’d like to say that it’s not qualitatively different than a lot of these feels that you think of as “hard” expertise. They too have trade-offs which belong to the public, and not the experts.

You met pilots? There is a reason we don't let them run the show. Particle physics? Yes, the field that gave us the biggest existential threat to humanity that we had to restructure our whole planet around to try to avoid—at great harm to us (UNSC). Solid foundations are no cure.

Pilots are completely subsumed under our political control over commercial aviation to the point we might as well tell them which hand to brush their teeth with. Almost zero control over "their own specific field." Wee bit more control for general aviation, hence all the crashes.

But that's not the decision point that matters, and not even true. An average PhD in public health will do immeasurably better than average person for health; and the reason a pilot can fly well is because we don't let pilots make decisions that matter except narrow execution.

The only reason pilots do that well is that we've taken over the whole field out of their hands.
