That is not what I was saying. My point was that you can be intelligent
but have little knowledge -- for example if you never had the opportunity
to go to school, even if you are much more intelligent than anyone around
you, you will be limited to the knowledge that the people you deal with
can teach you. In developed countries this is a very rare situation,
granted.
