I just think people appreciate only the kind of smart that they are smart enough, themselves, to understand. Anything they aren't smart enough to get, they dismiss. I think this tendency is why many of the real geniuses of history have been scorned in their time, and mediocrities given more credit. (A good, though fictitious example is Salieri and Mozart in the movie, Amadeus).
