So what you're saying is that if a person isn't interested in the opinion of the wait staff and prefers not to ask they're assuming themselves to be superior because their ego requires it ?
Like you say,it's all a matter of personal preference which is what the OP was inquiring about.
FWIW my son has just headed off for an evening shift at a hotel restaurant where he's working to help pay his way through university.His view on this is that people are fairly evenly divided between those who know what they want and others who can generally be persuaded to order whatever it is the hotel is trying to push.
