I accept the premise that “the ideas stupid people come up with are statistically more likely to be wrong,” but I would add two caveats. First, “within the domains in which those more intelligent people have relevant knowledge and draw on that knowledge,” and second, “Even then, for any difficult problem the majority of original ideas will be wrong even from more intelligent people.”
I would propose that the intelligent people might be more useful in sorting right ideas from wrong ones, than in trying to generate all the ideas themselves.
