For me, being stupid is very different from not being intelligent. I know people who are in the borderline ret*d/ret*d range who I would not consider stupid, and some incredibly stupid intellectuals.

Definitely. Everybody has been in school with people who demonstrate that quite well....their are the average people who work their ass off and earn a 4.0 GPA, and then you have the gifted student/s(I came from a small school.lol) that doesn't do crap, and receives average/good grades, effortlessly.(for example) That gifted student is more intelligent, but less educated, and vice-versa.(for the average student)
It just depends on whether you define "stupidity", as referring to knowledge, or intelligence.
