Yes, Jack has depths that the Doctor has never recognised or even acknowledged as possible, he's a far better man than he's given credit for, but the Doctor always seems to dismiss him as either frivolous or not particularly bright, neither of which is true.
I haven't seen the latest series of Doctor Who, it clashes with Dancing On Ice this year, and that had John Barrowman as one of the judges, but it doesn't surprise me a bit that the Doctor dismissed Jack's advice. Jodie's Doctor is a lot like av female version of Ten, who always was rather arrogant, so it's no surprise that side of the Doctor's character is making itself felt again. One day maybe the Doctor will realise Jack knows what he's talking about and deserves to be listened to.
