^Yes, I think you missed the point about common sense.
Plus, not all smart people are good communicators - just ask Mark Zuckerburg, who is a genius by most accounts.

Scratch and claw for every day you're worth!
Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming
You'll live forever here on earth.
