130+ IQ doing anything about any problem does not me give any hope unless those doing have a good understading about it.
So far engineers have shown "if the only tool you have is a hammer…" attitude towards the problem than any other.
How do you know their IQs? I don't think I've ever heard anyone discuss their IQ in real life. I don't mean this as an attack; I'm just curious where the "130+ IQ" qualifier comes from.
