Yes, I think there are cases where that's the case :) For example when designing a nuclear plant I think relying on a group of nuclear physicists and engineers is a good idea.
No one in a world has capacity to know all there is to know in the world (this is somewhat new phenomenon - it has been true for the last couple of centuries) and so we need to have division of responsibilities.
But maybe I'm pulling this topic from a different corner than you are?
