There are people who are knowledgeable and good at their job. Knowledgeable enough to be experts. Those are usually subject matter experts, including developers.

The issue is that no one can guarantee an outcome or that they've picked the right approach.

And if they didn’t pick the right approach, they aren’t an expert.
