Outsiders routinely use normative disagreements as an excuse for dismissing experts, but this is usually cherry-picking. If your argument is effectively, "They know more than me but I am better at morality than them", you probably just need to learn humility.
Yeah, we agree (except I don't like polls too much for this). It's fraught, for sure. With a pandemic, there is no neat inside/outside for many topics (given impact and lack of expert consensus) but some sub-part of a broad topic often has a narrow expertise that to be respected.

Like, a new strain. What do genomic/virology experts say? No consensus yet (evolving) but somewhat agreement that this specific one needs watching & is cause for concern. But what about: travel bans? That gets messy. Is there an expert consensus? (Often no). Then what?

Right, the first point I was making is that there usually aren't many context-specific analyses, especially in concert with experts as you did.
