If we take the bell curve as at least somewhat true then at least half of the population should not be cast as ignoramuses, at least in possibility.
Regardless, even if it were only the top 2% that could understand a small enough government in a meaningful way, that would be better than a government too large to be understood by no one in any meaningful way. It is not a black and white situation.
I also don't see why experts would be cast out from a smaller government. That, to me, seems like the product of more black and white thinking in pursuit of some fallacious nirvana that can only be used to dismiss the idea that a much smaller government might be better and possible.
