This actually also happens I our (tech) field: Several years ago I was working with 2 other very smart developers. We were the tech team in a small startup, in charge of keeping the systems running.
One of the 2 guys and I had quite some experience with "real life" systems in general. The other guy, really smart but his experience was in competitive programming (leetcode like things, super complex algorithms, etc).
At some point something broke in production. While looking at the first logs, the algorithms guy gave his diagnostic... but the other guy and I knew it couldn't be such thing due to some very subtle things in the error that was happening.
That kind of experience makes the difference of the time it takes to find the root of a problem.
