The language of the Gemara was specifically da’as. The question is what does da’as mean? How does it differentiate from chochma or binah? Were they referring to da’as as in the literal translation, i.e. intelligence? The same word is used in terms of a union between man and woman (Adam yada es Chava), so did they choose that word because women are only allowed to be married to one man while men are allowed many wives? Were they referring to the da’as that is brought down in Sefer Yetzirot? Were they referring to the deep awareness of Hashem, which is called da’as?
To use the phrase “nashim datan kalos” as business advice is silly unless you delved deeply into all the sources to understand what was meant.
