Intelligence doesn't denote honesty.

You can be both smart and a crook.

[Texas_Conservative2]

The child of 2 extremely intelligent people is more likely than not to be highly intelligent themselves...

But intelligence alone is not the sole determiner of success.

Nor does intelligence infer determination, a good work ethic, or the will to succeed.

In fact, a smart kid could very easily determine that it was in their best interest to NOT succeed but instead to live off the wealth and support of their parents, and have a good time instead. A wealthy family providing a smart child with everything they want is no different than the government welfare to the poor.

The end result is that it robs the recipient of the will to better themselves.
