I’m just a slightly advanced beginner, but you can make the food less tasty by simply adding the spice too early (even if it’s the right kind and right amount). Depends on spice. For example, I usually add garlic at the moment I finish cooking, because after short time (depending on whether it is whole or cut) it loses the spicy taste. In this case, the expert tasting the result and saying “you need more garlic” would get it wrong.
Also, it puts the bar for the “experienced cook” unnecessarily high. There are people who cook tasty food, and could give you some good advice during cooking, but if you just let them taste the result, they will not be sure what advice to give.
