Being caring and kind are simple examples of moral compasses that are considerably better than being as right as you can be. Your comment is a great example of the kind of person I'm trying to exemplify, you make up a lot of nonsense no one ever said just to argue how much more right you are against it.
We agree inasmuch as I eventually learned to appreciate nice-but-dim people over intelligent-but-needlessly-arrogant people.
But that ends as soon as there are stakes and the resolution depends on intelligent recognition of data or arguments.
