There's a difference between book learning and street smarts. Book learning is just memorizing facts, while street smarts is usually just applying common sense.
True intelligence is when you can take book learning (like the fact that cutting into an onion releases a chemical irritant known as syn-propanethial-S-oxide, which is what makes you cry) and street smarts (good ski goggles protect the eyes) and join them together to create a unique and elegant solution to your problems.
