I'm sorry I don't have faith in you system

I think that the whole term "ill-considered" vote is based on a disagreement with the vote itself rather than the underlying rationales.

Being text book educated does not make someone intelligent. I've met geniuses in my field who couldn't change a light bulb; People with PhDs who couldn't change the oil in their car. Does that make them more qualified to make decisions for everyone? There are some people who are extremely educated about abstracts who would never function outside of that if someone took all their money and degrees away and told them "here, go survive on McDonald's salary and live in the ghetto."

The whole process of the vote is to get a sense of what is best for everyone and that only comes from having a perspective outside your own. You never truly know it until you've been there.
