I find there is value in both, for me.
Even if Lionel Messi's problems are so far from mine that I can't understand, getting a glimpse into what his set of problems and his mental framework that got him there _could be_ valuable. The mental framework he uses could be something I could use to improve.
I agree, though, that I can't just use advice from someone who is on a whole different level. You can't use a great solution to a problem that doesn't exist in your situation.
