I'm also not sure how a politician, or most people voting for a politician, could figure out what is useful and useless to, say, a surgeon doing open heart surgery or a civil engineer designing suspension bridges. I'd be pretty reluctant to be operated on by such a surgeon, or travel across a bridge designed by such an engineer! Even if I voted for them. So, I'm guessing implicit in your thoughts is the idea that specialized knowledge would be excluded from your thesis?
