Even experts can go terribly wrong; there are known embarrassing attacks that invalidated algorithms considered rock-solid for 10 years by some bright 15-year old students. Would you prevent those brights from tackling on better ways to do crypto because they aren't "top experts" yet? Most likely they will just run away in disgust and park their capabilities in less hostile field.

Celebritism doesn't really work in science; it only prevents progress.
