I have to take exception to your blanket statement that being educated means being an idiot.
I've met and worked with people in many ocupations and there is a broad range ability in each. The pro builders of my house tried to run water 15" uphill to the drain.

The rare type of person shops of all sorts want but can't find enough of, understand engineers and can make the equipment work as intended.
