Politicians aren't making technical choices. They make value judgments.

Not it's raining should I wear galoshes but, should I wear blue or red pants? Not should I buy a sports car or an SUV but do I want to do the things you can do with a sports car or the things you can do with an SUV?

It can get confusing because experts can help inform value judgments but they don't have anymore weight on making them then any other person.

When it comes to those choices having a random selection of a large group instead of a small selection of a group of "experts" is at least an arguable point of view.
