for example.... Lim Goh tong doesnt have a degree or even SPM, but he got all the PhD to work for him..

who is more brilliant? the uneducated boss or the PhD employee?  hmm.gif
else, how do you think he could sell his products?

The counter intuitive answer: the PhD employee.

Because you're implicitly using the money metric to determine 'brilliance' when many other metrics could be used.

That isn't the point. The point is that you're conflating in different metrics and trying to compare them when they measure different things.
