Occam‘s razor suggests simpler explanations than book smart, stupid at common sense. For a person openly opposed to reading books, and proud of it.

"Book smart" is an idiom. Doesn't mean they're necessarily a big reader.

I do not think he is smart (book or not, MIT or not) at all. That is my point.
When confronted with his actions 2 simpler explanations than "booksmart, but not real life smart" are:
- A scammer (unethical, independent of intelligence)
- Not smart at all
I do not understand how someone see his actions and concludes: he is book smart only. Especially since he has expressed anti-intellectual views.
