Taking a step back, the "heroes" of communities that are into pointing out "the world is mad", "X is stupid", etc., seem really into "smarts" and clever solutions and they're explicitly into IQ being important, as in https://www.patreon.com/posts/62933244.
I think this is totally wrong. IMO, having a respect for domain knowledge, domain complexity, meticulously looking at data, etc., is a much more reliable way to find wins as an outsider than being super smart and reasoning from little to no knowledge.
