Its a good point that the intelligence required to understand some issue may be so beyond all humans that effectively we are all of equal intelligence but if so it means that we are in a state of ignorance as regards the issue.

So if the intelligent are unconvinced about something then either they are right to be unconvinced (compared to the less intelligent) or we are all not intelligent enough to understand and hence should be unconvinced.

Either way being convinced looks bad (unless the less intelligent are more likely to be right)
