Again a counterexample. The previous Indian Prime Minister was a Ph D in economics (and a very accomplished economist at that) [1]
The current prime minister was the son of a tea-seller, and not very highly educated.[2]
Who do most think is a better prime minister? The second. I believe faith in technocrats is misplaced, and wisdom does not equal technical competence.
