Why would you think that? I have a great respect for anyone who has great intellect. It is a very rare thing. I have respect for Chinese and Israeli leadership as they are about the only two countries in the world that prepare for the long term - a sign of intellect. Cory Doctorow, a writer here, also has great intellect. One recognises it in the broad variety of topics he writes about, and in the way he dissects topics and brings together various aspects. Very few people can do that. Intellect is genetic, by the way.
