...and you might well end up with the person who came within a hairsbreadth of flunking out of med school, but still squeaked by and became a doctor, bottom of his or her class. And, plenty of doctors DO make ignorant mistakes, as negligence lawsuits show.

I think the point is you want a smart doctor.
We want a nice person bagging our groceries or getting us coffee, and we don't want them to be negligent and make ignorant mistakes. We want a smart person doing the doctoring around us. Essentially we don't want negligence or ignorant mistakes from anyone.
The "nobody-is-smarter-than-anyone-else" line of thinking is a reflection of the inflated ego of the modern, narcissistic, overly-democratic individual. Something along the lines of "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge".
Some people are smarter than others, much smarter than others.
The problem comes when we make intelligence or smartness a measure of how dignified a person is or how much human worth they have. That ultimately leads to euthansia.
Homo sapiens wiped out Neanderthals because Homo sapiens were smarter.
Neanderthals were robust but that did not help.
