This depends on how rational those expert opinions end up being, doesn't it? If the experts turn out to have been making decisions without introspection, it's not at all surprising that students who explicitly introspect before making a final decision would have preferences different from the alleged experts'.

I wouldn't expect this to be true for all fields, but I would expect it to hold for the field of strawberry jam.
