In my experience the expert/consultant that is really worth their title is not the one that knows everything, it is the one that has very good deductive powers and can figure out problems. These are limited to logistics, mechanical, and production type problems. There are actually many of this type out there. For just plain predictions, I would stick with the dart throwing monkeys.
