The problem with technocracies is that government faces choices that aren't a question that can be answered by some neutral evaluation but are instead questions of whose interests are prioritized or what values are enforced.

However there ARE questions that can be neutrally evaluated, or at least where neutral evaluation can narrow the field of reasonable decisions. Medical policy is replete with decisions like this, and so we really should be consulting experts and strongly listening to their decisions in this field.
