"designations are artificial"

There are smart and dumb people... just like there are pretty and ugly people... I suspect the largest slice-of-the-pie is somewhere under the 'average' of all such designations... That's not a slight... it's just an observation...

Not all the coins in the fountain are shiney nor can they all be exchanged for the same number of jelly-babies...

It's like the song says...

It's not just what you're born with (lucky for most)
It's what you do with what you've got
