Can learning from less advanced teacher be more usefull rather than...

[rnd]

There're 2 teachers, one is advanced, the other is even more so, perhaps by large, in a certain domain. And both are more advanced than me. Will, generally, learning from the 1st teacher be more useful for me than from the 2nd one? Namely, a gap between me and the 1st teacher is smaller and thus I'll be able to understand him better, and thus learn from him better too, compared learning from the 2nd one.

It's not so simple. It's also how you resonate with the teacher, his manner of speaking, his attitude, his style of teaching, etc.
