Weirdly I have personally never considered PhD to be indicator of being particularly smart. Probably above median, but not special. On other hand it sure requires lot of work to be done. Or at least time spend.

That tracks. I’d add that Ph.D. laureates tends to be people who like to pursue knowledge in depth. I think it’s this, combined with the work ethic and discipline, that make them excel in certain fields.

"Hard working" and "smart" are very different things.
One could almost say that not being smart requires you to be harder working. (At least that's what I'm telling myself to keep working hard.)
