Enlish Literature Phds in the US. Who would you pick?

I'd pick the high school sophomore class. That doesn't mean your claim is now proven, or even strongly supported.

You made a statement that implies the dumbest student at Bronx Science is smarter than the smartest English Lit Ph.D. from Harvard. You then went on to ask about a scientific endeavor that took into consideration the two entire populations. That doesn't say much about the relevant extremes of the two groups, even given your definition of "smart."

Frankly, I'm amazed that you think your reply strengthened your claim. And as an aside, I think your original claim is almost certainly wrong simply due to the size of the two populations under consideration.
