I didn’t think so, actually—it sounded to me like the fallacy outright of “reversed stupidity is not intelligence”—but taking your different opinion into account, I’ve promoted the post.
In a binary proposition, reversing the largest stupidity seems likely to at least be marginally more intelligent than the alternative. Which isn’t really saying much, overall.
This is an excellent point!

Stupidity is uncorrelated with truth, not anticorrelated with truth. Reversed stupidity is still uncorrelated with truth.
