"Clever" is just a polite way of saying "dumb" :-)

  It's a different concept — closer to the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Someone who is cleverer than they are wise can go a long way before recognizing that the approach they're taking isn't cost-effective, especially if it gives them some point to feel proud about doing something which (correctly or not) they feel most other people couldn't.
