Lots of us stupid folks running around!!
It is true that half of the people are below average in intelligence.
Many are notably dumb, [in numbers equal to the notably bright.]

I would argue that there is little relationship between 'intelligence'
and
'stupidity'.
Only a mathematical one.
If you are discussing what is measured by so called intelligence
tests, there seems to be a bell shaped curve, with as many below
average as above it. The correllation between IQ and the real world
does gets debated a lot.

I am saying that a person with an IQ of 140+ can be very stupid!

When I was in the service we had saying applying to some folks, all G2 and
no gee-whiz.

Why would Herring be concerned about IQ? His is about the same as his
golf scores.
