Sometimes you have to make the least-bad choice that you can based on the information you have available. Sometimes you know that you will fail and have to choose the least-lethal way to fail.

Agreed... but who is "you" in the sentence?

Unfortunately, it seems to me experts increasingly think that their domain is the only one that matters, so they (as experts) should make decisions without consulting on whether someone in a different field that might have more, better information.

Also, the "least-lethal way to fail" argument assumes that there aren't other lethal trade-offs coming from down stream impact in areas outside an expert's vision.
