The major problem with this approach is that you'd need to ask the good thinker about each particular decision of this kind, taking into account the context in which you are making it. Only when you have good understanding of the world yourself, you can make good custom decisions for every situation.
Textbook decisions only work where textbook writers know in advance what questions they need to address.
And then, of course, there is a task of making sure this system doesn't turn into an echo chamber.
