On every team, everyone except one is worse than someone else. On every team, someone is the worst.

People work with those worse than them all the time, as those more experienced share their acquired wisdom with the less experienced ones. (Not to mention that you don't have to be the worst at everything. Ideally the places are switched in other realms of expertise.)
