Yes, this is what we call "book smarts" but no "street smarts". If I had to choose between the two? I'd pick street.

Book smarts is highly overrated.

It's all very well and good if you can do quantum physics in your head, but if you can't communicate it to anyone, share it, or for that matter figure out how to apply it - then so what? You might as well be staring at a blank wall.
