Paul was hand picked by Christ to be an Apostle. I am not so sure that the casting of lots is being hand picked by Christ. Not every thing the Apostles did was infallible. The Scriptures are but they were not.

Albeit Brian has a passage that seems to indicate he is correct.

"Our object should not be to have scripture on our side but to be on the side of scripture; and however dear any sentiment may have become by being long entertained, so soon as it is seen to be contrary to the Bible, we must be prepared to abandon it without hesitation."
