Mark@5,
I have to disagree. I believe the warning is there because we humans so easily slip into pride by seeing knowledge as power.
Part of the problem lies in tying the word ‘leader’ to particular tasks. The world invests the leader with weight, with status, with power. It is a societal bias that values some roles over others. A race car driver is, in the eyes of the public, the most valued member of the team, in spite of the fact that the mechancics have just as much to do with success as the driver. Similarly, whoever we call “the leader” is considered the most important or the most powerful, creating an inevitable hierarchy.
