I actually do this, but not in the dramatic fashion that you suggest.
If I want my house painted (or a similar task), I go to a good professional. He asks me what I want. I usually give broad instructions like “I want it to look good” or “I want a good quality to price ratio” or something like that. Then I ask what he suggests and/or what he would do if he were in my shoes.
I usually get a pretty damn good answer. At “worst”, I am presented with some trade offs, and I pick my poison.
If I don’t trust the painter (or other specialist), then I probably have not done enough due diligence.
