Of course I can't prove this, but my personal head-canon is that on some sort of absolute scale (the sort a god would use so don't ask me to explain it) the difference between the smartest human and dumbest is probably negligible. Our smartest humans look really fucking smart to our dumbest humans only because none of us have met the Xoflorg race from Proxima 5 (arbitrary example), even the dumbest of whom, the absolute morons, understand quantum physics better than Stephen Hawking did.

(My head-canon also figures there's some other alien race out there who would think our dumbest people are super-geniuses.)
