Smart =/= educated

A lot of educated people today are probably not smart enough. Increased amount of educated people means that the average iq is lower.

This guy is a great example. Very intelligent, very educated, but not very smart.

The tenured professor has been awaiting trial since his Jan. 23 arrest, when authorities at the airport in Buenos Aires found 2 kilograms of cocaine in the lining of his luggage.

Frampton claims he fell into a "honey trap," and had been visiting the country to meet up with a bikini model he met online. Instead, the professor came into contact with a man acting as an intermediary, who asked him to carry the model's empty suitcase.

Good point. English is not my first language so nuances might be lost. I do agree that being smart and being wise is not the same.

IQ is a good determinator of ability, but it is not perfect. It is good for statistical use, but it is not accurate enough to precisely describe individuals.
