Honestly, who better to? I saw a talk by an IBM guy about competence that seems to have been based off of this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence

If you need to encode everything that a person does to properly parse sentences and sentiment and intent and whatever, do you want someone whose in the "unconscious competence" category, where it's effortless and they barely know what they're doing? Or might you prefer someone who really has to work at it, who still has to reason through things in their own mind? The person who is only "consciously competent" probably still has hooks into their own mental processes and can explain them to themselves, to others, and to the computer.

A person who is unconsciously competent just reacts a certain way and can't tell you why.
