I'd have to see that study. It seems to me that experience gives you a lot of information about what is not as important that comes in handy even when you are "winging it" with something related.
Also, "experience is one of the worst indicators for job performance...all else being equal" could mean a lot of things:
1) truly everything else being equal i.e. the person with less experience will do better. (surely that is not the case)
2) Of everything, considered equally, experience is the least indicative of performance compared to education, creative thinking, etc.
Can you link those studies and clarify what is meant by "worst indicators"?
Also, what job was that in the evaluated job performance? I know it's definitely not true for trade skills like woodworking.
