Ok, I see where I disagree, then. I don’t think a smart person who’s avoided training and research about teaching can teach an average class better than a somewhat less smart person who’s trained and studied how to teach. Probably better than a dumb person, and where the point of indifference is I don’t know.
I don’t think it’s feasible to know physics or math very well without research and study of prior art, so I don’t think that’s an evaluatable claim. There are probably some math problems where raw IQ can get someone through, but never as well as somewhat less smart and actual study.
