I took your use of educated in the sense you meant it.
And I agree with this post as well.
I have often commented here that scholarship and brains were not equivalent. I worked at Stanford for a while, and there were academics who, judging by their writings and degrees, had to carry their own brain around with a wheelbarrow, but after talking to them a while, I wouldn't trust them to drive a bus. Professional intellectuals don't always have a lot of common sense on their resumes.
I usually get endless grief for my "anti-intellectual" stance, but I know what I see.
