Just be a rabbi has “dealt ” with an issue doesn’t make him trained or qualified to give good advice. I’ve had plenty of really bad teachers who have been really bad for 20 years. It’s true that a lot of people in others fields lack a Torah perspective which is a problem. It us not easy to get good guidance. You need a good CPA good Dr etc. But thinking your Rabbi who is a human not a navi and probably doesn’t have ruach hakoshesh can some how know more than anyone else in their area of expertise is just foolish. Good Rabbi will admit when he doesn’t know something and send you to people who do know. Be wary of someone who claims be an expert at everything.
