I see the point. It's a loaded statement though.

I can agree that those who believe they are above everyone else are more than likely to be bigger fools than those around them. But I find it hard to believe that essentially giving everyone the benefit of the doubt is the most "intelligent" thing to do.

Not trusting every one to have competency doesn't equate to being "dumb," in my opinion. If so, then why do companies give competency tests? Why don't they just assume anyone applying for a job "gets it."

Maybe I'm missing something here. I sure hope not, for the sake of being pegged the fool.
