“Deferring to experts” might be a less loaded term. Also defining what experts are especially for a lot of EA fields that are newer and less well established could help.
“Deferring to experts” carries the wrong meaning, I think? At least to me that sounds more like epistemic deferring.
An alternative to “deferring to authority” a couple of people have suggested to me is “delegating”, which I sort of like (although maybe it’s confusing if one of the paradigm examples is delegating to your boss).

In light of the other discussions, delegating choice seems better than deferring to experts.
