Depends on definitions of "smarts".
AFIK, education doesn't change our native compute power.
It should change our skills in using that native capacity.
If our ability (to use our native compute power) is improved through
training and on-board storage of pertinent information, then an educated
person 'should' perform better where intelligence is needed?
