If you take it with a grain of salt it's better than nothing. In life to express your opinion sometimes the best way is to quantify that based on intuition. To make decisions you could compile multiple experts intuitive quantities and use median or similar. There are some cases where it's more straight forward and rote, e.g. in military if you have to make distance based decisions, you might ask 8 of your soldiers to each name a number they think the distance is and take the median.
