If anything it is evidence that smarts alone are not correlated with smart choices.

Absolutely! They might be book smart, but they don't have a lick of common sense. I bet they flunk the EQ1 tests!

I think it shows the fallacy of believing that IQ tests are the sole yardstick of intelligence. I have known plenty of high IQ failures and I speak as someone who has tested in the top one percent. I know plenty of people who have accomplished much more than I have but couldn’t come within 20 points of my IQ score. I can show you a few who COULD match my scores but haven’t done nearly as well in life as I have. There is a lot more involved than what an IQ test measures.
