Intelligent people do not have common sense. Common sense has to be cultivated and nurtured you are not born with it. I doubt seriously if he is smarter the I am. My IQ was tested and it is at 142 which is higher than average. My common sense was grown over the past 40 to 50 years. Just because someone graduates a school does not mean they are smarter than someone else. It just means they can sit in class and listen and retain. I went to college and saw how easy it was and left with a 3.6 gpa. The school of hard knocks is where everyone needs to graduate.
