Brilliance- even genius- is no guarantee that consequential factors have not been left out or misconceived.
Were new species appearing, or old ones disappearing, more often or more consequentially when Darwin's Origin of Species was written?
Although the special kind of knowledge associated with intellectuals is usually valued more, and those who have such knowledge are usually accorded more prestige, it is by no means certain that the kind of knowledge mastered by intellectuals is necessarily more consequential in its effects in the real world.
When both special knowledge and mundane knowledge are encompassed within the concept of knowledge, it is doubtful whether the most knowledgeable person on earth has even one percent of the total knowledge on earth, or even one percent of the consequential knowledge in a given society.
But if no one has even one percent of all the knowledge in a society- in the larger sense in which many different kinds of knowledge are consequential- then it is crucial that the other 99 percent of knowledge, scattered in small and individually unimpressive amounts among the population at large, be allowed the freedom to be used in working out mutual accommodations among the people themselves.
