Intelligence and what you do with it are orthogonal concepts.
Maybe they're smart, but not intelligent
Intelligence can't be generalised.
Being skilled != being intelligent
smart or intelligence is not a scalar.

Intellectualism and intelligence are not the same thing.
Erudition and intelligence are different things.
