If I'm the smart one, I have to do all the work I can't trust to idiots, run the team or be on a team run by an idiot, be the most responsible according to any outside observer, and my success will still be mostly reliant on idiots.
If I'm the idiot, at worst I'd be mocked, but maybe I'd be too stupid to notice. At least the work would be more likely to be successful.
