Thing is when you are dealing with so many uncertainties, you can't speak with certainty. Dumber people can't grasp all the variables involved in the decision making, so things look more black and white to them. But smart people do grasp all the nuances and complexity involved. And their eyes can distinguish all 50 shades of gray or whatever, and thus they can't speak with uncertainly. Best leader would be one who can grasp all of the variables, make a decision, and speak about it while hiding the feeling of uncertainty. And this is why so many politicians are liars... They are not dumb. But they just get better at hiding and lying about true intentions... We just can't win...
