From my limited understanding of life—and it is limited, as I have not yet lived 100 years—I would say that it always pays to learn from the most knowledgeable person one can find about a subject. Why go to a veterinarian to learn about astronomy, when you can go to the astronomer? Why go to a psychologist to learn about the principles of physics, when you will most likely get inferior instruction about the subject, unlike what would be provided by a bona fide physicist, especially one who has no difficulty demonstrating his mastery of matters?
However, not being someone who was born omniscient, I realized that if I wanted to know why I was born only to suffer and die, I thought I would seek out the only person of whom it is claimed rose from the dead. No IQ test was required. Maybe I am a dunce. The good news for me is Jesus rose from the dead. I know. Because I met him. Now you can scoff at that. However, if an IQ is representative of intelligence, I would have thought every intelligent person would have always sought the most knowledgeable person out in a given field to learn its truth. So why not the Omniscient One. Unless, of course, possessing such a high IQ, you feel that this is beneath yourself and an I.Q. is really an Ignorance Quotient.
