Whether the people working on something are smart or not has nothing to do with whether or not it's being done by a committee. A committee of geniuses working in their element is still a committee. Committees can be a great way of doing things. There are any number of famous, successful, and greatly loved projects that were done by committee. Almost all of the popular translations of the Bible were done by committee, for instance.
I think that points to the big strength and the big danger of committees. A well run committee can get the minds of all its members working on a problem so they can do something none of them could manage alone. A poorly run committee puts the minds of its members in opposition, so the group gets less done than any of them could manage alone. The difference is whether the members can put aside their parochial interests to advance the good of the project. If they can, the committee can be a huge success. If they can't the committee will almost surely bog down into infighting. Vendors trying to game the system are a great example of the weakness of a committee structure; the members are so wrapped up by their own interests that the project as a whole suffers.

Committees can be bad, but they can also be very, very good.
