Yeah but I'm talking about scenarios where all people needed to do to avoid being locked in a little box for life was either A. Not do the obviously stupid thing that everyone is telling them is stupid and that they should absolutely not do. and B. Shut the fuck up.[0]

There are supposedly brilliant people serving life sentences right now and the only reason they're facing that situation is because they couldn't shut the fuck up when they sat down in a little room with an at best slightly above average intelligence police officer.

Stupid is as stupid does.

The officer had a higher working intelligence in that case.

If I prepare for a test and perform better than someone smarter than me, my working knowledge made me superior at that task, even though I was less intelligent at the time I performed it.
