> Why do extra work that you don't need to do? Because of the consequences. Tesla had used customer-grade components for control & entertainment systems in their cars. Nobody else did that, what a smart thing to do! They recognized that there's a rule to break to cut costs! ...unfortunately, the customer-grade touchscreen panels in their cars were breaking so often for exactly the reasons why you don't use them in cars and go for more expensive and harder to obtain industrial-grade components instead that they were fined and forced to recall whole production runs. Now, if you actually did figure out a thing that nobody did before in order to put less work or cut costs and achieve the same or better results - you'd be indeed smart. Neither Trump's campaign nor Tesla's use of customer-grade electronics were examples of that. They just did something that others did not because of other factors than their intelligence. Some rules are there for a reason and breaking them does not make you smart. |

The smart thing was to realise that in fact there were no consequences to breaking some rules.
> Some rules are there for a reason
And others are not. Telling the difference requires you to be... smart.
