Well said.

Ben Carson during last election demonstrated this clearly, top in his medical field, but was not well informed on matters of politics and economics. Even though he is the head of HUD now, at least he seemed humble enough to know his limits at the time.

Not a good example. Ben Carson ran for president himself.

Yes, as I stated, but then realized he was above his level and dropped out.

He realized nobody was going to vote for him and dropped out. Why, out of all possible examples, would you choose someone organizing a campaign and running for president and then dropping out when their polls were low as an example of intellectual humility? I'd say literally every doctor who doesn't choose to run for president is a better example.
