Realistic people are best at predicting reality, by definition. Street smarts -- realism -- belongs to those who have deep domain expertise rather than pure raw IQ.
Anyway, logic itself, as a system of reasoning, is known to be <strike>inconsistent</strike> incomplete (Godel, etc).

It's basically what your brain does and what "street smarts" is, albeit the brain uses so many cognitive shortcuts and heuristics to avoid computing things.
