No, this is still arguing the opposite of what you want.

Elite engineers build things better than laypeople. Elite doctors treat health problems better than laypeople. Elite basketball players play basketball better than laypeople.

Elite thinkers therefore, we should assume, do indeed think "better" (more deeply, with better information, etc.) than laypeople.

So either everything is so inscrutable that everyone is completely confused--you may as well just conduct your affairs randomly; or things are complicated and even the elite thinkers get it wrong sometimes--but less than laypeople so we should trust them; or things are often simple enough, and both elite thinkers and laypeople can get them right--if there is a difference in what they want it's because of different goals, not because the elite thinkers don't know "better than most".

So, again, the argument only works if you cede that elite thinkers do actually know better what is going on. It just doesn't matter much, because the real challenge is getting the right fit for each person, and they can very well understand what's going on well enough and craft the fit for themselves.
