"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by drinking too much water?"
"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by having too vigorous sex?"
"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by getting into a heated discussion about a stupid topic?"
"Yes or No, have >1 people been killed by riding a bike?"
I rest my case, this is a complete waste of time and I give it up.

if the question of whether people have died as a result of intelligence failures is a waste of time for you, then you should not have replied to the thread answering this question ("yes"), arguing with that answer
by failing to acknowledge the answer (again: "yes") you fail to graduate to the next discussion, which, obviously, necessarily builds upon a shared understanding of facts
No.
You're arguing with the claim that intelligence leaks have killed greater than 1 humans in history.
Everything else is a distraction from that question. If you can't agree on a common set of facts, like that one, you aren't ready to graduate to the next discussion, whether it be a comparative discussion of benefits or anything else.
Your inability to acknowledge the simple truth to the question we're discussing only shows that you seem to be the one treating this as a debate, and you're the one insisting on "winning" by refusing to acknowledge even a basic set of facts.
Until you can do that, you're not ready for the next topic, which, obviously, necessarily builds upon that shared set of facts. "Alternative facts" don't count here.
