TLDR strawberry fields is a cut up of two different takes and each take had different tempos so George Martin had to figure out to mix them together without it sounding off

>In a famous anecdote, Brian Wilson, who had been struggling to complete the Beach Boys' Smile album, first heard "Strawberry Fields Forever" on his car radio[176] while under the influence of barbiturates.[177] In the recollection of his passenger at the time, Michael Vosse, "[Wilson] just shook his head and said, 'They did it already – what I wanted to do with Smile. Maybe it's too late.'"[178] Vosse recalled that they then exchanged laughter, although "at the moment he said it, he sounded very serious."[178] According to author Steven Gaines, the "wondrous and different-sounding" quality of the Beatles' single was one of several factors that accelerated Wilson's emotional descent and led to him abandoning Smile.[179]

I can appreciate the studio wizardry...but at the same time couldn't a band of talented musicians simply do another complete take?

We'll always love you Brian for what you did achieve. Music isn't the Olympics.
