‘Smart’ is defined as?
No one knows. Is it the IQ test? The sheepskin on the wall? The balance in your bank account? I have no college degrees, dropped out of 11th grade, got a GED, yet I taught Computer programming in 7 programming languages in a 2 yr college for 9 years and was the IT director for a large company with 5k employees. I just considered myself good at what I did and still did some pretty dumb things (according to my wife of 50yrs).
