Yeah, people think "smart" is a point on a linear scale from "stupid" to "educated". In Germany we say "Fachidioten" ("subject idiots") for people that are well versed in a subject, but idiots otherwise. You can study something, even be good in that and still talk bullshit. Heck, you might spout bullshit despite good education in the topic. Knowingly and unknowingly.
