Important decisions should rarely if ever be made based on expertise in only a single field. If it's a product decision in business, you're going to want the differing expertise sets of your sales people, your manufacturing people, and your finance people. In a public health crisis, you don't just hand the decision off to the epidemiologists and virologists, you also need people who will advise on educational effects and economic effects.
