text: Firstly, individual humans are generally less intelligent than the collective intellect of the species as a whole. This also works at a much smaller scale. For example, while a single scientist would struggle to build a spaceship, solve complicated equations, or write an advanced computer program, a team of individuals with different skills and ideas could complete each of those tasks in only a year. This same principle can also apply to seeking advice. A group of people is smarter than a single person, and it is usually the best idea to receive advice from the most intelligent being possible.
