If they were truly wise men, they would have stopped and asked for directions instead of trying to follow a star.
As it was, they were two years late and still ended up in the wrong place, and then got all those babies killed.
<pssshhht> Wise men my @$$!

They did come in handy during the early years of navigation.
@Benthoven only one-way-ish!
Problem of following burning balls of gas thousands of light years away is they are pretty ambiguous about where they point. After all, the earth rotates and they don't sit geo-stationary.
In fact, heavenly bodies that enter earths orbit, don't tend to do that either.
I get the feeling they may have been told go and deliver these pressies to the new born King. So like Persian delivery drivers at Christmas, they decided, bollocks, this'll do, give this to him and let's go down the pub, shift done. Yeah, no one will remember this in a couple of thousand years anyway.

I don't know any men who are willing to ask for directions, they rather get lost then do that.

Not lost, just exploring.
I prefer the men who Clearly don't know when I stop & ask them, and hem & haw for 10 minutes trying to make something up...until I tell them to F Off!
