That is not a fair statement to make. Higher intelligence do not gurantee survival in war. It is experience that counts. Try throwing a president scholar 2LT in the war front with your "stupid lau jiao" W02 and see who will survive...I rather follow a warrent any day. And not all OCS grads are that great either....
An experienced WOSE may have his own fixxed set views, and unless is prepared to accept new developments, may put himself and his command in jeopardy by thinking he is better than anyone.
Remember the proverb - "You can't teach Old Dogs new tricks"
So does a green officier who wishes to follow line by line by the book. From my experience...it is those castigated "stupid laujiao" warrents who dares to deviate from doctrine and try another approach and this again calls for experience to do it.
