when you're in class and a kid is called 'smart' simply for regurgitating rare facts about science that he memorized, despite the fact that anyone who shared the same interest in science as him would have immersed himself deeply enough to have the same knowledge, regardless of actual intelligence level, and that this is seen as 'smart' solely because the interest is closely linked to formal education which is the standard measure of intelligence', despite the fact that you can ask anyone about their interests, for example football, and they can discuss it sophisticatedly in the same manner, but it won't be labelled with intelligence if it isn't linked to academia.
