it’s fine for the government to be expected to know which experts they need to consult

What happens if they don't even know it's a problem? Or they don't realize the severity of the problem so it gets a lower priority?

And it also sounds like you're arguing that I can't talk to my local representative about what I think are the important issues that need to be addressed. If they have to seek me out, I would have zero input.
