It's good to have the experience of interacting with someone far more intelligent than yourself who nevertheless believes things you think, with good reason, to be nonsense. It teaches one humility, to question the nature of "knowledge" and how it is attained, and the limits of "intelligence" alone to divine reality and arrive at consensus.
