Experts do know best in their field of expertise, that’s what makes them experts. In such a “Citizen Jury” if we lucked out and got a PhD in microbiology I would probably want that person on the FDA committee or whatever.
Excluding someone from the political process because they have an education is called Kakistocracy.
One of the first thing authoritarians do is eliminate or crush intellectuals. The Soviets murdered all of the Polish intellectuals. The Khmer Rouge did the same thing. Even wearing glasses made you “guilty”. They don’t want anyone who can talk back.
