This is an excellent algorithm for finding people with high status. Unfortunately, the correlation between status and knowledge is unreliable at best.
Caveat: ask each person to name someone they personally worked with.
Hard to get right, but not sure whether it’s harder than knowledge investment.
Wouldn’t have helped Louis XV. We might need infrastructure in place that would incentivize people to make themselves easy to find.
