I think there is a human tendency to always want “the best” information, and we’ve been conditioned to believe that means going to the “expert.” I’ve fallen into that trap myself, whether it’s choosing the frontier AI model or seeking out the “best” doctor.

The “best” isn’t about expertise, but it’s a measure of utility and time. The best source is the one that gives you the right answer, at the right moment, with enough confidence to move forward.
