“The advantage of being intelligent is that you can always play dumb The opposite is more difficult”
— Woody Allen

Simplified Meaning:
Being smart means you can pretend not to know things when it’s useful. This can help in tricky situations, like getting out of doing an unwanted task by acting like you don’t know how to do it. Imagine a student who is really good at math, but acts clueless to avoid being asked for help all the time. It’s much harder for someone who isn’t very smart to act like they know a lot, because they don’t have the knowledge to back it up. For example, if someone doesn’t understand math well, they can’t suddenly pretend to be a math genius. Using your intelligence wisely can help you navigate social situations better.
