That's argument for arguably one of the most interesting new ideas in "democracy" of this century: "liquid democracy"
It allowed for people to choose to vote on individual issues. But when they recognised the complexity of certain issues, or just couldn't be bothered to make up their mind, it allowed to delegate their voting power to someone they trusted. You could delegate single issues, topics, whole fields of politics or even everything, and the recipient could do so again. The result would be a sort of "net of decision making".
Of course the concept's prominence came and went with the rise and fall of the Pirate Party...
