There's always going to be a certain percent (probably majority) of the pop who wants to listen to priests/experts (from either laziness/inability/ignorance). If you want the power gained from this, you must be perceived as such. I doubt that factor's going away.

Of course, it's adaptive for most - most people aren't the smartest or even in the top 5% so offloading a lot of thinking to those who are is good practice. Give that, the system needs the top men to think well and it actively blocks that through training and selection.
