I'm not sure about this. I have 2 brothers both very smart. 1 of them has an IQ around 140 and both of them believe everything on the news are have triple jabbed.
what is "very smart" and what does an IQ really measure? there's no true measure of intelligence that I'm aware of. while I think it's one's ability to problem solve and process information with discernment, everyone thinks differently. most people would suggest any doctor is intelligent for example. but why? they are tasked with memorizing loads of information from a book. I'd argue that having the best memory does not make one intelligent, but instead makes them a great parrot
I saw this I believe on YouTube of all places. An indication of intelligence is a questioning of oneself. More intelligent/bright people tend to question. I think we need to do xyz. As opposed to we have to do xyz. The ability to be wrong, admit it and correct our actions is a sign of intelligence. So many coworkers have to be right no Matter what. They cannot admit that they are wrong. Hence, dumb people.

Yup my electrical engineer Grandpa and Boeing employed Uncle are like that too, so you're not alone.

while I agree with your/this opinion, I'd argue it's just that, an/our opinion and not a means to consistently measure one's intelligence
