Fair point. I guess by smart I'm thinking "least work for best grades" but that's a very loose definition.
Also - it's a very small sample size. And if I look more broadly... 2 of the seemingly "dumbest jocks" I knew in college went on to become doctors, one at the Mayo clinic. So perhaps their intelligence was showing in other areas until they got out of school.

- ethanbond 10y agoAnyone who wasted precious keystrokes to type a word like "retard," never mind "brosky," is in no position to speak down to PhDs.
