No, it improves a persons capacity for critical thinking via the non-magical but well proven method of education and firsthand knowledge in the field.
Without some experience putting up new routes, your opinion is worth as much as; a catholic priest lecturing on sex, a Liberal party multi-millionaire from the north shore explaining how they understand working class issues, or a sydney sport climber (who has never placed a wire on lead) telling you that the new sport routes at Point Perp are a good addition to the cliff.
