When did I make any judgment as to your intelligence? I'm glad you're "the best," though -- so modest, too!
I know these people and I consider them intelligent based my interaction with them and on their achievements: the ways they have distinguished themselves based on their own merit (debate tournaments, math competitions, etc.) Yes, they make poor (and immoral, by almost any standards) decisions. Yes, cheating is an unintelligent decision. But I know them well and I
still think that these people are smart. You can disagree with me if you want.
