They'd know a lot more about how things have changed, what has worked and what hasn't, and how the community around them has changed. They could use the knowledge and wisdom they have learned to fix problems that may arise which are similar to past problems, and would be better at solving new problems because they know what won't work.

Your arguments are good, but they suggest that oldbieness is directly related to intelligence. A stupid person wouldn't pick up on the reasons things happened as they did; they would just acknowledge that they had and think this was enough. I'm a newbie compared to some people, but I'm more skilled in game design and that kind of stuff. It isn't a perfect relationship - there are old players that act like newbies and new players that act like oldbies.
