and to back you up in what you say, Gavin, a classic case is formal study. When I was teaching, I tried to impress on the students, that although all the info was - in theory - out there ready to tap into, what was lost was structure and context. Sometimes it needed the expert to deliver it in a way for people to have the epiphany.
and of course, there's the followup questions that are sometimes invaluable. I heard a story of a guest lecturer traveling around giving guest spots, who had a driver/PA on "tour" with him. After a while the driver said "what you do is easy! I reckon I can do that - I've heard the same lecture enough times". so they made a pact that the next stop they would swap roles and the driver would give the lecture. Sure enough the driver did a good job regurgitating the same script ... until someone in the audience asked a pointed question. The guy kept his cool, trying to hide he wasn't the guest lecturer. "what a silly question" he said. "So, silly that, in fact, I'm going to let my driver answer that question!" context, and expert advice, is everything.
