On the other hand, a good memorization skill must not necessarily mean you come to the right conclusions. Your sources, peers, genetics and a mind that is by nature chaotic, do it's part.

For example, having good memory may lead you to become more arrogant. If other people praise you for your skill, you become so confident in your conclusions that you stop questioning them and rather see confirmation in an echo chamber of sources.

This arrogance is the source of much evil, I think. You see it a lot in politicians and management.

There is a type of person who can only reply with "smart people can do bad things" when discussing competence in any form.

But there are only so many ways you can say "smart people can do bad things" without sounding repetitive, and it looks like they're scraping at the bottom of the barrel.

Of course not. My point was that there are more important parts of the mind that need training. You can't overcome the mind's evolutionary weaknesses in perception of the world and in being in control over its inner workings by having a good memory.
