> Is there any other area besides a legislature where you'd say that the decision makers ideally would not be experts in any of the fields related to complex decisions? From personal experience: I've interviewed at (and received offers from) companies that wanted to hire SWEs without any experience in their specialist area (be it graphics, avionics, hardware control, etc) because they wanted people "who could bring new ideas" or "who won't be encumbered by old-school thinking". Though the implication is that those new-hires would grow-into an expert role over time, rather than never being an expert at all.
