> Wouldn't you /want/ the best and brightest setting the direction and making sure that course is followed?

Please read the book. You want the best and brightest writing the policies, but you need them working on behalf of the working-class in general, through an exercise of broadly-based working-class power inside the party. Otherwise, you just get what we have, which is the best and brightest writing policies that favor the best and brightest above everyone else.
